This isn’t about normal mouse or not, after all the Magic Mouse IS and scrolls like a normal mouse, just with a touch-surface instead of a wheel.

It’s about the fact that in macOS it’s the content that scrolls, not the viewport. By moving your finger up on a touchpad you’re pushing the content up, and the wheel of a non-Apple mouse is a physical proxy of the content.

You may not like the decision, but in my opinion it makes a lot of sense, and I set the mouse to work like this even in Linux.

It's nice to have the option for that, isn't it? Instead of having two toggles in two separate menus change the same setting who knows why.
