Before there is a baby to latch onto a nipple, ask yourself how the baby was conceived. I'm pretty sure that's the most intuitive interface among all mammals.

No, sex has to be learned and mammals often don't get it right at first.

Well, for that matter, latching is not always immediate and successful either - but there is by necessity at least someone who has accomplished it before involved. Not necessarily so with the other intuitive interfacing.

Agree on M-F. Have folks never built electronics? Simple, intuitive M-F interfaces are everywhere. A Nipple is a far more subtle and complex, for a host of reasons (local storage, flow regulation), and as a result usage is a more learned behaviour (as noted above).
