Windows 10: 3D Builder: Only two of three rotational axis available

Pretty sure this is a bug that REALLY should be fixed: This is NOT a cylinder nor a sphere in the pic above, so it's shape clearly needs 3 rotational Axis.
However, maybe because I substracted a cylinder at some point, two axis are aligned, so there are only two possible rotations left for use.

Why even bother reducing the rotational axis for some shapes?...can't think of any benefit implementing this distinction in the first place, to be honest - just keep all 3 Axis functional regardless of the shape you're dealing with!

3D Builder rotation axis names are backwards

In 3D Builder, to rotate in the X axis, the axis running left to right, one uses the Roll field.

To rotate in the Y axis, the axis from the initial location off to the horizon, one uses the Pitch field.

These are not aligned with aeronautical engineering, which predates 3D Builder by several decades of use.

In an airplane, if the wing tips are spinning around the center of the fuselage, the Y axis, that is a Roll manouver.

In an airplane, as you take off, the nose of the craft lifts up, Pitching the aircraft, increasing the wing's angle of attack and increases lift.

Yaw is OK, since the Z axis is vertical, and in an airplane the rudder pedals wag the tail of the airplane.

I hope that with the next major update, Roll and Pitch labels can swap places.
