The advantage is that the first form looks more mysterious and you can
use words like "currying" to sound smarter. :-)

I agree. So I think the conclusion here is that we don't want to add
apply-rpartially to Emacs core -- the people that prefer this style will
find more complete coverage in dash.el (which is on GNU ELPA).
So I'm closing this bug report.
