No different that Shimano’s current 4 bolt asymmetric.
The reason I totally understand. This is done for mistake proofing. Google “Poke-Yoke”. You can’t screw up the clocking of the teeth.
From Camry’s point of view, it protects them from “my shifting sucks, I get tons of chain skipping” complaints when people just clocked their rings incorrectly. Matched chainring sets are totally a thing with ramps in precise places to pick up a chain off of a tooth that is in a predicted location.
