After all, mixing paint colors is something you have to learn because it's not very intuitive.
Almost everywhere else in life, when you mix A and B, you expect a linear transition to happen. By adding salt to water, you are increasing its saltiness, it's not expected that at some point, the water becomes sour before it becomes salty again.

The mixing examples they show on the webpage for the Mixbox algorithm look real to me and make the mixing available in other programs seem incorrect. edit: I'll add though that Mixbox doesn't seem to take actual physical pigment characteristics into account and that can radically impact pigment mixing.
