I do believe it is a balance issue. If the handle is in the center, the case is carried with the body bringing the back of the case lower to the ground (possible chance of dragging the case or dropping it).

it's probably a matter of balance, putting the handle there is probably the equivalent of carrying your guitar by the top part of the body...neck slightly up for easier transportation

Maybe it's also made for people like me who keep hitting the darn rear section of the case everywhere in staircases and in my brand new car....
