Intuitive user experiences are often not the most simple and logical ones.   I guess part of the reason for this is that you need to preserve backwards compatibility with the user's previous experiences. And this includes some ugliness from early software.   But there's probably also a limit in terms of what average users can understand in terms of what's logical, consistent, and simple.
