Okay, am I understanding this correctly? In Y-up right-hand, positive X is "to the left"?

I personally think that right-hand Z-up makes the most sense, but it makes sense to move to where most of the industry is going.

Z is depth. Why should it ever be up? Honest question.

It depends if you view the X-Y plane as the camera/viewport/screen or the ground. If X-Y is the ground, then Z is either up or down.
