You are designing a 10 million dollar custom home.
You have come to the kitchen and see you need two small appliance circuits, per code.
Once you get each circuit to the kitchen counter, how do you distribute the circuits?
Do you start with one circuit and keep hitting the next receptacle adjacent, and do the same with the other, or do you alternate the circuits so each receptacle is different in the circuit to the one adjacent?
Why would do anything but stack the outlets? Alternating is a complete waste of time, but they are in thousands of drawings and installation of homes. And, in some instances, the engineer of record will not let you change it.
