The reason is: in flickr: you click on the image and you get a server-side
scaled bigger version of the image but not the real full version like you get
at Commons. I really hate flickr therefore, btw. It takes tens of clicks in
flickr to get the original version (and this is only available at pro
accounts). And: the full version is a forced download (you cannot view it in
your browser).  
That is a completely different UI. Btw: that UI is that bad that often
scaled-down versions of flickr images (CC licensed) are uploaded to Commons
instead of the biggest available version.

And, yes, flickr did the EXIF-based rotation right from the beginning, didn't
it?
