Is there any reason why someone would not want to use an asymmetric version in a symmetric way?
You mean they pre-sort the arguments the way they want? Sure, you could do that. Though if it were me, I'd probably just re-write the test myself. But throughout all this -- I haven't thought of a single case where I would prefer a symmetric test and it would matter. It certainly appeals to me as clean, and more similar to equal, etc, but I haven't come up with a practical reason to prefer it.
