Hmmm - if I remember rightly (retired now) the country that makes the stuff, gets to set the standards ... so who's making the stuff these days? I wonder. But, have to admit, I had it wrong for a bit, due to the red/green reversal (North American culture). Caught myself, before I actually flew. However, some have said you can fly with all 0s in those 3 fields, and it flies just fine. Haven't tried that myself.I have less of an issue with the color than I do the fact it is opposite of every CAD/VFX software I have ever used. +X goes to the right,+Y goes up, Z can vary.
Bear in mind there are far more Chinese than Americans/Europeans etc..
So maybe we should be the ones that have to be sensitive.
