I suspect this was brought up internally before public release, yet MS has removed the option to disable this nonsensical sorting.

And, worse, channels are not even simply in reversed order with newest at top instead of bottom. Instead, newest are buried somewhere in the middle. The top is the oldest post in a thread with the newest post. So it's not even self-consistent on whether new or old should be top or bottom.
