Agreed. There's no real logical reason not to use a ventral door. But a rear-facing one would seem more "natural" to us humans.

And also allow for a larger enterence/exit area. The "bomb bay" style really restricted what they could bring on board.

my mind went a bit south with this one......

Which based on the shape of the NX-01's warp core, they would more likely push it out the back rather than have an enormous drop door below it to fit that massive core out.
