There might be better visibility once in the square,
curving to the left, but surely with traffic going clockwise,
entry TO the roundabout, square or whatever
is much easier than if the traffic were coming from the left,
since visibility is better to the entering driver,
sitting on the right, if traffic is also coming from the right.

That same logic is why, presumably, in countries where
traffic drives on the right, roundabouts etc. are anti-clockwise.

Not at all: it is because, when the roads are two-way, this removes
conflicting motions between cars entering and leaving at the same side road.
