The uppercase M is intentionally unsymmetrical - there are almost no
fonts in which the M is truly symmetrical. This is to counteract the
optical illusion effects of four strokes meeting each other. If the
design were adjusted to be numerically symmetrical it would no longer
look optically symmetrical.
