Here is a reasoning:

Including:

0  3
****
-> 0..3

Excluding:

0   4
****
-> 0...4

0...10 : The 10 is outside the range. I want it inside: I move it to the
left: 0..10.

0..10 : The 10 is inside the range. I want it outside: I move it to the
right: 0...10.

Anyway, I don't think it needs any reasoning. It's only convention. In my
case, it didn't clash with any presumptions I had about what should they
mean.
