Proposed solution: Please "de-link" the Natural scrolling option in settings for mouse and trackpad.

Thank you!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.0

We are users like you, we cannot change how macOS works.

There are several third party utilities that provide this functionality, though.

I have not tried any, because I only use trackpads, but a quick search reveals a number of options.

And the way to request it from Apple:
