Default opinion on asymmetrical tires IE Pirelli PZero Nero M+S

I just purchased these with my flix artics and when i put them on the car i realized that they are basically a completely different tread pattern on the left than on the right. I did some research and found out they are made that way but an curious as to how they work. Is there a side that works better? When turning left the tread is going \/ but when turning right it goes /\. Did they design it that way or are they lazy and just designed the tires and then said ok just use them on the other side as well?

Are you sure you have the directional indicators going the right way?

all 4 tires are the same and all are mounted with the tires outside wall labeled "OUTER" I check with Pirelli and they said this is correct.
