What’s the deal with people posting items on Thingiverse with the default orientation such that they can’t be printed on a FDM machine?
And, before you say “maybe they’re designed for other 3D printing technology”, the latest example I encountered was a RepRap part.
The description even said that it had to be reoriented before it would print properly.
While I think many people on thingiverse have FDM printers, I think there’s a interim step between modeling and generating Gcode. I imagine that people do their orientation in their slicing program, along with all the other printer specific needs.

SolidWorks is the only CAD program I know of that considers the Y axis as “up”. The convention among all other programs is Z is up. It’s annoying as hell when you import a SolidWorks model into any other CAD program.
