The only reason I have ever heard as to why port islands were not implemented that sounds feasible was this...
Piston engined aircraft pull to the left due to engine torque and rotation. It was easier to "wave off" to the left so islands were built to starboard.
Of course, there might have been other factors and this could be BS!
I do know that some types of piston engined aircraft indeed have a propensity to pull more readily in one direction but this is only what I have read.
