It's an idea from the flight sim generation - used to looking at computer aircraft from "follow me view" flying on a screen while seated in a stationary reference frame.
Pilots who learned to fly the aircraft by flying an aircraft generally don't have a problem with the presentation after being introduced to it in the air, where your moving reference frame matches the instrument.
Mind you, that doesn't mean that a new presentation wouldn't be more appropriate now that most pilots have more sim experience (recreational and technical) than flying experience by the time they sit in an airliner, and once in that airliner spend more time looking at a newspaper than looking at the instruments in any case.
