Aha.
It is actually quite clever.
By arranging the arms in this shape you avoid dead space that you would have in the centre if it was merely in a cross.So by extension; substitute a (latterly) Nazi insignia for a (sort of) Christian insignia and make better use of floor space and therefore more profit!
(There may be other parallels to draw, but I’m not going to go there)
Still, I stand by clever design (functionally)
Also not a swastika from the top - mirror image. Eye sees what it wants to see and brain gets offended.

This is dredging up ancient memories, but I used to have a lot of friends in fashion retail, and I'm sure this exact issue occasionally came up.
