Moving right or left moves the player slightly forward all the time due to the hexagonal layout. This perfectly fits the Q and E keys which are next to the W key which is the key for moving forward. Also, moving left and right is something that the player probably won't use as often as turning left and right. So by putting the turning on the AD of the WASD keys that players are used to, they immediately are comfortable with the controls.
