IIRC it's default in Windows and GNOME now too. It's a very strange default.

Ok that’s even worse. I get that its to make it the same as when you push the screen up on your phone blah blah blah

But they can all die and burn in hell

it actually wasn't in this gnome install from last night, i just happened to run across the setting while looking for something else and made the meme. but i do seem to recall having to fix this before in years past.

It's the default for trackpads, which makes sense IMO

iirc windows uses classic direction and doesn’t have an option to change it to “natural”, meaning if you happened to get used to “natural” you have to do some janky registry thing to flip it
