I think he quoted intuitive because that's an effectively meaningless claim. To someone who spent two decades in Windows, everything Windows-like will be "intuitive". That doesn't make it a universal truth.

The concepts in Windows used to translate to the physical world. "Buttons" and "Menus." Sure, to an alien species, these things are unintuitive, but no more so than a door knob.

Of course, physical things are losing buttons. I guess kids will refer to things as 'tap the tappy spot' or some such.
