It doesn't as such but since Japan uses english so much it "does".
Some things just flow better with an l or r sound, it's just that the Japanese treat them as the same letter.
For instance, it's very hard to say "Sperunking". The R feels weak and limp.
However, it's also quite hard to say "Fullel Figule". So that would tend towards R in
Generally "olo" isn't used much in japanese, but oro is a sound that is.
It's just like how Y can be "Yuh" or "Iy" depending on context only not intentional, I guess, though it doesn't matter as much in japanese, they're interchangable just tend towards one or the other at the slip of the tounge.
Remember, japanese originated from something that didn't even have letters, but word fragments.
This is based off my own interpretation though, so correct me if I'm wrong.
