Can someone explain why?

I saw this listing and it’s written that the right hand is all digital but the bass side is acoustic. To me that is backwards from what most people would want. On my full midi/full acoustic instruments I seldom use midi on the right hand but almost always use the left hand midi. Am I missing something here?

I don’t know about most people. I do know that when I engage the MIDI system on my acoustic accordion I use it for both bass and treble.

Horses for courses. Everyone has their vision of the perfect setup. Most people use MIDI on the bass side, either alone or in conjunction with the right hand.

The owner of this accordion likely played with other musicians and had someone to cover their bass needs so "midi-fied" the right hand alone. IMHO just about the biggest mistake one can make is to MIDI one side of an accordion. Do both and when you sell it, people have the CHOICE.

Not only is that accordion immediately placed at the bottom of the pile in terms of desirability, it is overpriced as well.

Maybe they're referring to "right" and "left" from the perspective of someone facing the player???

It is odd indeed, but it doesn't really matter because the asking price is so far off what is realistic that you wouldn't want it in any case.

Makes a bit more sense if you just want to use it as a digital piano - i.e. ignore the left hand.

sure and I would get that if it was all digital. But to be paying for an accordion with reeds in the bass section and having the extra weight seems like a waste.

Of course I agree the cost is ridiculous.
