It doesn't?  That depends.

To people coming from (and people who are still using) central shared repository workflow, pushing to anywhere other than the upstream makes no sense.

If qualified with something like "When using a triangular workflow to pull from one place and push to another place" in front, I can see why having a separate upstream and downstream makes sense, and...

... this is a perfect explanation of what a downsream is.
