> Console Controllers are not intuitive, whereas VR controls almost always are.

Almost all console controllers follow a similar control scheme for decades (minus the front buttons like "share" or the touchpads). I don't see them as unintuitive.

They are for someone who hasn't ever played a game, easier to get them to learn how to do stuff with vr controllers than with a console controller, vr incorporates far more normal movements that everyone already knows how to do, like picking stuff up or aiming a gun/bow, shooting is easy it is aiming it that is hard.
Billions of people have never held a console controller. For them, VR will be far more intuitive than controllers. VR is intuitive for all humans.

I invite you to watch this extremely enlightening video: https://youtu.be/nyJUza39ELE (it's also a good channel in general)
