Considering the “Allow all” is “OK” (on the right), and “Confirm” is “Cancel” (on the left) the programmer might get used to Apple environments with “OK” on the right. On Windows, “OK” is normally on the left.
These UX design choices are very much known, and have been discussed for decades:

To me “OK” is one of the worst button descriptions. Why do I give my OK for? The content of the dialog? That I read it? That I wasn’t to perform an action?
A much better label would be “Confirm and close” because that is what the button does.
