I kept trying to move it with the inverse technique, so clearly my muscle memory was expecting something different. I don't know if I am alone with that, but felt annoying that I had to re-teach myself or second-guess trial&error what to do.
I also had the same intuition for this as you do.
EDIT: I used to have HTC phones back in the day, and their alarm picker worked like this (at 37 s).
So I think that is where I developed this intuition.
iOS did it the other way around at one point (at 32 s).
I based my opinion on watching my fingers move. I kept trying to move it with the inverse technique, so clearly my muscle memory was expecting something different. I don't know if I am alone with that, but felt annoying that I had to re-teach myself or second-guess trial&error what to do.
