The only "logic" that I cold come up with is that some countries use the 2nd level to be equivalent to the original gTLD (ie .com.uk), so .uk.com is a reciprocal case. But in my mind it has really no merit.
Specifically uk.com is not used by the "country" but by a service provider. Historically the provider offered Web service under their own domain, a model also used by Demon Internet in the early days... It got traction then as it was marketed for "UK companies". Long time ago... Kind regards, Olivier
