I completely agree with you. One of the first things I do on a new Mac is change VoiceOver so text to the right of the cursor is spoken. I would love to see such an option offered in iOS as well. Use what works for you. I switch it because speaking what's to the right of the cursor is standard screen reader practice. It's what I'm used to and I see no advantage in it being different. To me, this is absolutely a matter of personal preference. There's no right or wrong way and props to Apple for offering the choice.
