Thank you for your comment.

Personally I don't think that the question of not using East/West is whether these terms are inclusive or not.
It's more about being straight to the point, not multiplying multiple options (clang-format has lots of them already).
Moreover, Left/Right is IMO universally understood (we have left-to-right or right-to-left writing, left/right margin and so on, these words seem to be more popular in typography-related contexts).
East/West is on the other hand not that universal and often misunderstood. It also adds an unnecessary cognitive charge, because one needs to translate it to left/right in their head anyway.
Tangentially, the left part of my screen is not necessarily on the west...

My 2 cents.
