What others have said, already: fantastic post.

Apparently this is because that's how scrolling works on touch
screens: you move your finger downwards and you scroll up - and vice
versa.
Now I use a touch screen (phone) and also a desktop PC, and somehow
this never confuses me. Actually, it took me a while before I realised
that, indeed, the movements happen in different directions - so
natural both movements have become to me. Are there really people who
find this confusing?
Martijn.
