Maybe because it is an orthographic projection and not a perspective one.

I like orthographic projections, but this isn't one. The square at the top has perfect 90* corners, despite the "depth" (and thus being viewed from the side). Orthographic projections of a square squish it into a rhombus.
Good catch! Maybe that is the disconnect! I see close to ortho. Closer to ortho than it is anything else, but it just is not an ortho projection.
