That's vastly exaggerated :-). At maximum it's a minor inconsistency.

That complicates a simple interface way too much. What you ask for is an
automatic adjustment of portrait or landscape depending on user settings. Would
have the drawback of unintentional behavior in case you define landscape first
and manipulate the values later.

I wonder if all this trouble is a language related thing. Would you still
request the enhancement when the options have more generic terms and the
function is called "flip"? (Not voting for this change, just as an example.)
