For most passenger cars, it's probably an issue of space on the spindle.
There is a tie rod in the way, or a bracket/bushing, tension rod, etc.

For a race car (non F1 where every part is custom) using off the shelf
parts, it's most handy to have multi piston calipers with the bleeders
straight up, ie the Caliper vertical.  Behind the front hubs, and in front
of the rears, to tuck the weight inside the wheelbase.  Most race cars you
see will be this way
