Well put it this way: If you have something with a drag benefit, it (drag force) goes down, right? Same goes for lift. If you have something that is a benefit to lift (which in automotive is detrimental like drag) then it also goes down. Given that the standard is measurement of vertical force as positive up (lift, Cl) then benefit is downward. Downforce is generally a more colloquial usage.
