I agree, inverting it makes sense because we want that quirk to be activated
by default. It fixes a very common mistake that will probably keep getting
made, so maintaining app profiles for it seems like a lot of work for no
reason and a functional regression at this point.
And since the behavior with that quirk enabled is closer to what windows
drivers report, there should be no application that breaks because of it.

Thanks,

Georg
