Why is the mouse cursor slightly tilted and not straight?

https://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/52336/why-is-the-mouse-cursor-slightly-tilted-and-not-straight

Summary: The mouse cursor is slightly tilted due to historical reasons and technical limitations of early screens. The tilted design made it easier to draw a straight line and a 45-degree angle line, making the cursor more recognizable. The angle also provides a vertical left edge, which helps when highlighting text.
