If you want to learn the acoustic instrument-- either upright or grand piano-- pay a teacher to show you how to learn.
There are just so many parts of piano-playing that are counterintuitive. At the same time, if you learn them early and practice a little bit, it's not difficult to develop healthy habits that will make everything you play sound more natural and beautiful.
It's a bit frustrating because at least in the U.S., most people don't do this and just learn how to depress some keys in the right order.
To me, hearing that result is equivalent to walking into someone's house and seeing pictures on the wall where the paint is smeared past the border onto the wall. It's novel the first time, but once you realize everyone's walls are like that you start to feel like you're being set up to eventually burn to death inside a wicker man.
