True, they operate differently. The question becomes, 'how should they operate?'
In my opinion, Microsoft has set the standard. If Reaper is to be intuitive, it needs to use these standards when possible.
Take the mouse wheel... It's called a scroll wheel, and in Windows, it scrolls the current window. duh...
In Reaper's Timeline, by default, it zooms. You have to change Prefs to get it to work as expected.
Wheel should scroll... Ctrl-Wheel should zoom. That's the way it works in Windows, and that's how (i would guess) most folks expect Reaper to work.
And certainly, both the Timeline and the Midi editor should work the same.
