Its probably done that way because the trackers max value isnt fixed, and the used value is a fixed user input value. Take Ki for example, as a monk levels up the trkMax for ki goes up based off of a formula. If you are using a decremental system you would need to display all the different values: the remaining value, the number of current value of the tracker, and the max value. For most screen space is at a premium, and cluttering the UI with additional values tends to make things messy/less user friendly.
No you don't. You just have to show X remaining of Y total, same amount of space as currently.
