The implicit opposite of natural is unnatural, which implies some sort of deviance from normal. Should we call all right-handed people "natural" and left-handed people something else?
Convention since far back as I can remember('90s) was "invert", as to why Apple decided to buck this trend, your guess is as good as mine.

At the same time, giving it a name is useful. "Do you have natural scrolling on or off?" vs "So, which direction does the content scroll when you move two fingers down on your trackpad? No, I mean, when you're touching the trackpad with two fingers and you move them towards you, does the page go up or down? Oh, by up, I mean that the text actually is going down but you're moving towards the top of the website."
