Peels your knuckles twice as fast, too.

I peel one half all the way around then grab other side. Keeps the peeler 2 inches from knuckles at all times.

My old 1980's peeler will take a bite out of you either direction lol

Unless I want coleslaw I shall keep peeling in one direction.

Why wouldn’t one peel in one direction? You gather momentum. Now if you stop and change direction, what have you done? You lost momentum.

You don’t have to, but it’s the safest way (peeling away from you).
Knowing my klutzy self I’d end up somehow shanking myself if I opted to peel both ways.
