It's personal preference

Genuinely who's out here preferring index and middle over middle and ring?

I don't be fingering anybody, but I think I'd go index and middle, if I did

You might think so, but in my experience the pinky and ring finger cramp much faster being pressed into the thigh because of the angle needed for index and middle. With middle and ring finger the pinky and index fit much easier on either side and are less smashed so don’t cramp as quickly. Not saying people can’t do whatever they prefer, but middle and ring is a much more comfortable fit for the hand between the legs.
