Apart from most file formats and internet standards being big-endian, you mean?
Although to borrow from minusf’s point, it’s good for software robustness that file formats and hardware use different endianness, as it forces you to read things byte-by-byte rather than lazily assuming you can just read 4 bytes and cast them directly to an int32.
