On Amiga this was done because most joysticks at the time didn't have second button wired to different function, but with phone touch controls it'd be nice to have an option to map 'up' and 'down' for the some of the right thumb buttons as well. Note: it might be necessary to have up and down active for left thumb too at the same time, since many games required keeping fire button down and then choosing direction with the stick.
The request added in the bugtracker. It will be added as an option in the touch screen function list.
