It seems like an odd choice to put bigger numbers lower down, when we generally associate them with up. Any idea why it's visualized that way?

Could be a score about time. Small numbers = faster = better = up.
I think it is so that on all graphs "lower" down is better. But agree it's kind of unusual layout. Looking at the graphs for Linux i wonder what happened in feb 11:th this year - where all values for Firefox got a lot worse.
Sometimes the hardware or software configurations of the machines running the tests changes, or a bug in the test harness itself is fixed, which can skew all of the results at once.
Interesting that around 24 June Firefox got a fairly significant speed bump. Would love to know what changes(s) they made for that but that date doesn't coincide with a release and there's no version information on that site that I can see.
