Default DLR alignment at bank

Why does the DLR do a 90 deg turn just before it gets to Bank so its on
a north south alignment. Were there plans to extend it north at some point?
If not then surely it would have been simpler to bore the platforms east-west?

There are some 3D maps online. Normally this sort of thing is in order
to fit the line in, amongst existing infrastructure and where possible
under roads.
