Most likely to line it up with the local flow at a design point. Such as:
high altitude, heavy wt, cruise or single engine climb at max gross or
.... or .... or a compromise between several design points.

I remember an access door on the outboard side of a rear mounted nacelle

I've asked a lot of experts this question and have
yet to get a cogent answer. Surprising.

When the engines are mounted by the tail in
everything from MD-80s to CJ Citations, why

What aerodynamic problem does that solve?

We know about similar things... why do they

point to the right? -- To deal with P-factor.
But what's the answer on the jets?
