Why have the alignment done relative to the direction of the stack? I’ve wondered the reason for this with Flexbox as well.

It’s very hard to remember and unintuitive. My guess is something to do with responsiveness?

To me, alignX and alignY (with an align shorthand) are always clear. And the amount of times I’m changing between the two is nearly 0 so far in a large app.
