I mean. It's mostly because of how much water there is, how smooth the surface of the planet generally is (one really big, really deep fissure would make sea water 'bunch up' more), and plate tectonics.
In the Pangaea days, and at some points in the future, there were far fewer dry antipodes. The present day doesn't have the highest possible proportion of them, either.
