I gave specific examples where it's unintuitive and your response is "The design is brilliant".

Touché sir, your argument has won the day. /s

Charitably, the emphasis could be put on “if you give it a bit of time.” Read that way, it’s not an argument for intuitive UX, just a comment about how the UX grows on you. It doesn’t contradict what you said. Should it?

After all, this is a discussion forum where regular humans can share their experiences. Not debate club.

A design isn't "brilliant" just because "people got used to it, despite how shitty it is".
