Question why is longitudinal stabilty about the lateral axis??

why is longitudinal stabilty about the lateral axis and involves pitching. Why is lateral stability concerned with the longitudinal axis i.e rolling???

seems backwards to me?????? Why is this???

Wouldnt it be easier to say longitudinal stability is concerned with the longitudinal axis, therefore rolling plane????
