Because left turns are already wide. When turning right you have to make a very sharp turn because you are hugging the curb, and semis are too big to turn tight enough. When turning left you go across the entire intersection, so a tight turn isn't necessary, thus there is no warning about how they can't make tight left turns--because there aren't any.

The turns are wide both ways, but left turns are less obvious because, unless the truck is on a one-way street, there is plenty of room for it to turn without the danger of running over the curb. When it takes a right-hand turn, it needs to pull away from the curb in order to clear it.

In addition to what everyone else has said, when making a LEFT hand turn the driver is able to look out his side window and see where the trailer is "tracking". but on a RIGHT hand turn, even with his legal mirrors, his vision is obscured by the trailer. Making a wider arc is just an added safety maneuver to avoid hitting anything.
