You were doing it wrong. The motor side is always
on the finished side not the waste side. Using the
blade left saw requires changing your methods.

Is that some kind of rule? All of the circular saws I've ever seen had a
shoe for saw support on both sides of the blade.

If the blade is between both of your hands you typically get more dust in
your face. Te left sided blade was built so that a lefty could hold the saw
with his left hand and not have the blade between his left and right hand.
