In screen coordinates, the origin is the top left corner of the screen, and the Y-axis increases towards the bottom of the screen. So Y still isn't "up"
His point is that's where it comes from. In most 3D software as seen in the chart, the XY plane is paralel to the screen, just that Y is up instead of down like in 2D, cut that would be insane if it was like that.
