I do think that sometimes configurability can be a crutch or a hasty solution that developers resort to instead of thinking through their defaults or adding a bit of intelligence to their program's behavior. Apple definitely aims to avoid that pitfall with their 'just works' approach, and I think that's valid.

But they take it too far for my tastes. And the lack of configurability makes those times when the UX is disagreeable or just plain wrong feel like an insult as well as a defect.

> "intuitive" is just fricking hype

I think I remember my dad once saying that there's only one intuitive user interface for mammals: the nipple. After that, you're learning, whether you admit it or not!

The only people who think iOS is intuitive are the ones that have been using iOS since it went to material design. As someone who has almost exclusively used Android, the interface is terrible, unpredictable, and undiscoverable. Gesture based navigation feels completely random if you have not been taught it.
