My
personal, totally ungrounded and should not be trusted in any way,
opinion is that the reason why the window control buttons were moved to
the left side of the window border is because the new Cheif operating
officer of Conanical Matt Asay is an avid user of Apple products.
The reason as stated by Conanical why the buttons are moved to the left
side of the window border is that they are going to add new window
functionality buttons to the right side of the window.
And as far as I understand it, the decisions of Conanical have no
direct effect on Gnome. They are their own entety and make their own
decitions just as the Gnome foundation make theirs.

The design team, if I recall correctly, made the new themes and style
on Macs exclusively, without using free software. And to answer the
question originally posted, the buttons can go wherever you please, and
in GNOME upstream they will remain on the right by default. There
*might* be an option in the future to move the "Activities" button to
the other side, but I can't really say since I'm not a developer, only
a tester.
