The logic for 'delete' deleting forwards becomes clearer if you think of it as
the opposite of 'insert' on a terminal with auto-insertion disabled,
(I.E. overtype mode).

In that case, it's usually expected that hitting 'insert' immediately followed
by 'delete' would be a no-op.  In other words, the 'delete' would remove the
blank space inserted.
