There is already a bit of a discussion regarding the symmetry options in:

Does this report add anything to the discussion?

I found out that checking "Vertex Groups X Symmetry" and unchecking "X" in either "Symmetry" or "Options" menus will have the behavior that i want. Which is to paint weight paints on the right bone and have them mirror to the left bone and its respective vertex group.

Thanks

OK, so we have a way to achieve what we want, leaving us with only the confusion part.
This seems to have been addressed as well (see T84520 -- just not implemented yet), so I'd say we can close this report as a duplicate of T84520.
