I know this, and I find the syntax unfortunate, to say the least.

Indeed, a double-sided (asymmetric) document.
And it is pretty unwieldy.

Well, what would make sense?
I would have no problem dropping/ignoring this (historic) command.
How about:
\setupheader [left=,leftodd=,middle=,...]
\setupfooter
or
\setupheader [lefttext=,leftoddtext=,middletext=,...]
This would be logical.
