I actually asked that question of SJG back when GURPS 1e was first released*.

The answer (from SJ) was, in game terms, no. They were aware of the effect. And if they included a bonus to make being left-handed an Advantage rather than player choice (a Feature, to use later terminology), which didn't seem worthwhile for the small effect.

* They had an invitation to submit questions by mail, with the questions written out with enough space between on that sheet for an answer, and a SASE - Self Addressed Stamped Envelope -- with your return address, in which they returned your question sheet with the answers written in. Which might be an interesting historical tidbit on how much technology has changed communication in the timespan of the game's existence.
