Science

I mean... this is basically the same as "natural" scrolling. It's what metaphor you're using. Either you think of pushing up as "looking up", or you see pushing up as if you're rotating a physical camera forwards. So basically the question is if you imagine your camera as an actual object. That's why planes often control that way, you're rotating the plane that way rather than the camera, the object is right there so more people will mentally attach to it.

Personally, I played in the era where this wasn't always configurable, and can pretty quickly adapt to either, and sometimes even get mixed up where both feel unintuitive half of the time lol, but I usually defer to the "up to look up" setting, to prevent myself from getting mixed up like that when switching between games.
