Counterinutitive alignment behaviour
Why does left or right align always align to the bottom rather than the top object? I don't about you, but I tend to add objects underneath other or insert new objects between existing ones, so I want everything aligned to the top object because, generally, everything else is positioned relative to the top object. And the some for top and bottom align aligning to the right most object instead of the left most object.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Hi Chris, I have to admit I really don't understand your question. Can you maybe paste a screenshot of what you mean?

Inappropriate?Hi Chris, left-align aligns to the elements which is 'left of everything else', same for right-align. It doesn't look at top or bottom, so what you describe with the Mockup (thanks for that) is working as designed. Not sure why you think it's counter-intuitive, what other software doesn't behave like that?
I’m curious

Inappropriate?The problem is this is no way say what object is the reference point for the alignment.
Generally you want to add a new object and roughly place it where you want it and then align it relative to an existing object. The steps would be create the object, roughly place it, ctrl/cmd+click the reference object, align. The last selected object would always be the reference object.
I’m anxious
