Why is wind directon expressed as "FROM"?

Is it me, or is wind direction bass ackwards?

Vectors normally indicate direction an object is moving, but not so with
wind.

Why is that?

Not sure of the official reason, but hearing the wind direction expressed
as a FROM direction provides me with a very quick way of determining which
runway is most aligned with landing into the wind.

For example, landing at an airport with a single strip runway labeled 10 on
one side and 28 on the other, you hear the wind on the ASOS reported as
"250 at 15." What runway will you choose?
