I understand it may seem unusual to copy the stem direction according to

Probably different expectations between Bach handwriting and present-day
software claiming high-quality engraving by default.

"LilyPond is inspired by traditional manual engravings published by
European music publishers in and towards the end of the first half of
the twentieth century, including Bärenreiter, Duhem, Durand, Hofmeister,
Peters, and Schott. This is sometimes regarded as the peak of
traditional musical engraving practice. As we have studied these
editions we have learned a great deal about what goes into a
well-engraved score, and the aspects that we wanted to imitate in LilyPond."
