Why do so many video game players invert their controls?

Is this similar to the mouse scroll wheel? I've seen both in use depending on the operating system defaults, but I definitely prefer "toward me" being up, and "away from me" scrolling the page downward. It's inverse to how a typewriter works, and seems to obey the "up is down / down is up" result.
