    I’d rather have an app with unnecessary options that nobody will ever use than one where some UX expert somewhere has decided the exact way I have to interact with the program.

      It is not about the wording, rather the having the option? No one would call that direction natural.

        Actually “natural” gets a pass from me. It doesn’t feel right just because we got used to the opposite.

        Imagine a paper scroll on rolls. If you slide the top of the roll upwards - the paper goes up, and you can see more bottom content. The exact opposite happens when you scroll the mouse wheel with default config.
