Well, I had absolutely no idea on any of the buttons. So I'm:

Perhaps that should be better written as:

Same, I got 0. Even after he mentioned amazon, I went back and looked and couldn't see anything that made me think of amazon. For context, I visit amazon maybe once a week.
Also the same. I could sort of recognise the Amazon one once I knew which one it was, but even then I wasn't 100% sure.
I don't see how it's evidence against his claim, since he's not saying that certain companies do this perfectly. Surely you would agree that it would be better to have a button style that you would instantly recognize (all else being equal, of course).
I didn't recognize any of the buttons either. Personally, it matters to me if a button is readable and doesn't look like absolute garbage.

Telling me I'm not an internet geek just because I didn't remember the buttons? THE NERVE!

I also couldn't guess any of them.
I guessed microsoft correctly (because of the flatness) but the rest I had no clue.
