You do have a point in a way - Lake Cowichan is something like 170 m above sea level and Port Renfrew is sea level. But you still have a mountain to climb regardless of the direction of travel
But sure, that section might be worse going clockwise, and Sooke to Port Renfrew might be a bit easier than the opposite direction.
Maybe I’ll ride this the other way to find out!
