The obvious answer is that road surfaces are not flat, they have a slight crown to aid water runoff. As you probably tend to stay on the right hand side, the stripe will be offset to the left due to the crown.
For me, tyre wear is offset to the right. The crown also makes me more cautious on right hand bends as I will tend to run out of ground clearance to the pegs by a few degrees.
