I suspect the tendency to favour A over B .or vice versa is related to cognitive styles which favour raw (ish) experience versus cognitive styles which favour theory and detachment.

Experience favours presentism, because the past and future are not "there" phenomenologically, and changing present moment is.
Theory favours eternalism because it is hard to represent change mathematically ... it gets lost in the translation.
