I legit had no idea anybody actually used the upper system until now.
I had to read the comments just to see whether the upper system was just some sort of joke.
I am horrified.
If you’re thinking of a side scroller like the original Super Mario, Y is up/down and X is left/right making the new dimention Z being forward/backward.
However if you think of 2D space like the first LoZ, then Y is North/South and X is East/West making Z up/down

Almost the entirety of computer graphics uses the z coordinate for depth afaik.
Even Minecraft does it.
It depends on how you view 2D->3D.

Same with CSS for the same reason.
