BEcause the minus sign (−) is centered in the button and not placed at
the bottom, it does not convey "minimizing down". The minus is placed in
a neutral position, so it is still valid no matter where your launcher
is, at the left or at the bottom.
If the icon were a vertical line, I would think that the button is for
semi-maximizing, or something more confusing. Anyway, these are
symbolic, metaphoric icons, I don't believe that they must represent the
exact desktop. And I don't know about anybody who got confused by the
minimize icon, all of my friends clicked the minus expecting to minimize
the window, and that ocurred.
