One may involve a shorter taxi to the terminal. Often airline terminals
will be on one side of the field and and general aviation on the other.
There may be other factors too.
Note how many of the parallel runways have the longer on closer to the
terminal. Also note how many have one of them appreciably longer.

One exception is the two N-S runways at Colorado Springs -- they have the
terminal right in between them.

Another example is Atlanta, where the terminal is midfield, with two
of the four parallel(E-W) runways north of the terminal and two (soon
to be three) south of the terminal.
