How do you read a number like 1234? "One thousand two hundreds thirty four", big endian.
Most (all?) Western languages say out their numbers in big endian, as do East Asian languages like Chinese, Japanese and Korean. It is only natural that we write down our numbers in big endian, it can be argued that the mistake was making little endian CPUs.
