Beech was correct in the old airplanes, flaps close to the
throttle and the landing gear a long reach. Mooney went one
better with their gear switch on some models at the top
center of the instrument panel

But Cessna built 5-10 times as many airplanes as Beech so
the FAA adopted the Cessna pattern in Part 23.
