Normally text goes from left to right, so naturally it is aligned to the left to start with. Numbers are usually aligned to the right when we write them out properly, so as to keep decimal points and the other units underneath each other. Excel does the same. So in both cases Excel is only following what is normally done with text and numbers when we deal with them in other contexts.
