I agree it's hard. Though my claim is that lack of will is more of a factor than complexity of way.
If any of vim great ideas ever enters shared intuition about computers it won't be due to development of vim.
Ability to gradually transition between beginner user towards power user is natural way all modern software is written. That's why you have menus and can point things with mouse and often drag stuff around, and have a cursor and a text box where cursor keys and home and end and delete and backspace and shift works. And you have hints and indications of keyboard shortcuts. Plenty of stuff is discoverable.
You start with shared understanding and build upon that.
Some legacy UIs like Blender evolve and adapt to broadening shared intuition others like vim fail to.
