It's increasingly common as laptop touchpads grow and keyboard
correspondingly shrink. There's no room for a dedicated row of volume,
screen brightness, airplane mode, etc. keys, and so those got combined
into the F-key row. And since most people in Windows or Mac never use
those keys (maybe F1 for help, occasionally), it makes sense to flip
the default sense. If you prefer it the other way, some systems allow
you to flip them in the firmware setup.
