Another consideration speaking against this wrong counterpoint: in this type of 7-6 chain the top/solo voice often sings/plays the dissonance. While doubling the top voice seems to be perfectly fine for most 17th century BC treaties, the inverted version would put the dissonance into the bass and we would end up with parallel octaves between soloist and bass voice - which is definitely _not_ fine at all.
