What are your thoughts on removing 3d touch

Well, yes and no. As soon as you start talking about things like hand rules, the actual placement of the axes relative to each other becomes important, so your system should be this or some rotation of that. Swapping x and y here would break the outcome of a cross product.

With that said, you wouldn't be technically wrong if you set it like this, but usually when talking about coordinate systems z-hat is either pointing out of the board or if it's drawn in 3D it'll usually be like it is in the first image. That would be above the phone's screen either way, pretty much.

It'd be like if you called "forward" negative, as long as you were consistent you'd be fine but people would definitely be thrown off by it. The only software I've seen ignore this convention is the Unity Engine.
