I have flown since the age of 14 so for me it is our current way "logical" too. But I have seen many beginning students, having problems already with taxying on their first lessons. AFTER they had to learn that throttling UP was forward on the throttle!
I had students really have big problems with N-1, kicking the wrong rudder pedal (interesting flight lessons!).
Aside: controlling a bike is very complex, in fact You do not turn the handlebar to the left for a left turn, You shift Yr weight left, partly by steering RIGHT initially, then the bars turn left to coordinate the turn! I have tested this extensively driving a motorbike, push the bar to the right, You turn left!
Controlling a bike hands free is perfect with weight shifting. All young kids here in Netherlands can do this (we are kind of born on bikes.....)
