> BE is intuitive for humans who write digits with the highest power on the left.

But only because when they dump memory, they start with the lowest address, lol.

Why don't these people reverse numberlines and cartesian coordinate systems while they're at it?

A lot of graphics APIs do actually reverse the y-coordinate for historical reasons.

Right. I've done plenty of postscript/PDF.

But 99% of the time the x-coordinate and the number increment from left to right.
