That’s not really how humans work and not really how brains work.

Nothing is technically intuitive and in that regard I do agree with you but I think you are missing the forest for the trees. Everything humans ever do happens within a certain context. There is no fleeing that. And you can call interfaces respecting that context familiar but it also wouldn’t be wrong to call that intuitive.

In that way the distinction you are making up is a very gradual and almost completely meaningless one.

I’m not married to keeping on using the word “intuitive” but I do think it’s also not wrong to use it and especially shouldn’t be followed up by pithy, meaningless (= don’t tell you anything new) dismissals because of that word use.
