Why does the rolling sphere in the gif curve away in the inertial frame of reference?

the sphere doesn’t do a curve on its path. it’s the ground that turns and therefore the path of the sphere does look like a curve.
if you throw a ball on a caroussel it will fly straight, but since the caroussel turns, it wont hit the target you aimed at because that target is at a different position.
under the right circumstances you could throw a ball and catch it yourself after you have done half a rotation while the ball is flying.
Because the plane the ball is rolling on is also spinning. So the balls initial path essentially spins out from underneath it.
