User choice.  From your perspective, maybe "operator error" is
a better description.  The font choice is made in the symbol, so
changing it would take three steps (inductor, resistor, capacitor).

The value is centered, which forces the refdes off center.
Symmetry is restored when there is an additional modifier
added, such as "NPO" for C103 (and I now see I wasn't super
careful with its alignment).  Is there a better way to
arrange this text?
