  Looks like a dynasty of master trolls who were also masons.

  But I wonder if there’s a better reason

    Now that actually looks like a pattern put in on purpose.

    I wonder if there was a technical reason for the windows in those watchtowers, or like if they were just trying to torment their village’s mentally challenged resident who happened to have an extreme distaste for unorderly things

  This was done so that if an archer approaching the tower nocks 5 arrows at the same time, he cannot hit guards in all 5 windows at once.

  Later, purposefully-designed bows rendered this defense useless.

  This is a clock tower. Most likely the internal mechanisms for clock precludes a centerline window. Something booked to the wall, etc.

    That sounds pretty plausible, but I’m not sure.

    The windows are only very slightly off center, inconsistent, and even the ones above the clock are as well (although the clock mechanism could extend both up and down).

    But I also don’t have any better explanation.
