> Most interfaces we use on a day to day basis are the opposite, they're designed to be accessible

I read this and then I think of glass doors with handles on both sides that I don't open till I read the instruction on the affixed plate: PUSH/PULL. The door forces this decision on every single conscientious user. These things are everywhere, including software interfaces.

As a point of interest, the PULL handles are supposed to be vertical, and the PUSH handles horizontal.

But that doesn't always look nice on a glass door.
