The typical designed probe is designed to point up which gives the intended angle to the airflow and also keeps the tip high and as close to the line of the tailplane. See Rudy Brozel's articles.
Another quite common factor is to avoid the down pointing probe interfering with a fin pitot which is often close below. Dick Johnson tested this and showed that there was significant interference. |
