Now Now C,mon
Almost all European cars have em center. 3 main reasons were
1) Its a left hand DRIVE car (duh!) You cant drive and operate the switch or gear at the same time.
2) Reduces exposure to the elements-rain etc when water splashes.(Cup holders were meant for sealed cups)
3) Security Improvements in center configuration versus driver side.

Now given that, why would you go to the trouble of regressing back to the paleolithic American-mode era? I mean get a Chevy or some quick mass-produced model car (that will likely change designs in a year) if you want to keep doing things how you are used to. But dont make the serious drivers have to regress too cause you refuse to adapt.
Go Volvo Go Svedish Ingva!
