Well, that's because you are under them...you can only see the top of
this kind of cloud if you are in an aircraft. (or spacecraft, I guess)
Otherwise, the top is obscured by...the bottom and sides. And these
clouds quite clearly have sides.

It only uses the direction of a ray, so you could say it "centers" on
wherever the ray started from. Its coloration is equivalent to that of a
unit-sphere centered on the origin, but it is just a background, not
centered anywhere.
