Well from what I've just read, this entire article can be distilled down to a few bullet points.
• I cannot 'touch type' on a smartphone, therefore using a smartphone is slow.
• I do not understand the interface design patterns that my phone uses, therefore navigating my phones interfaces is slow.
• My phone does not organise things and I incorrectly assumed it would.
• Because my phone cannot organise things, I choose not to organise it myself and instead complain that it does not organise things.
I was genuinely hoping this would be a legitimate critique of modern interface design, because I love that kinda shit - but no, I just got a guy bitching and making sweeping generalisations because he can't learn how to do things.

Its not "incorrect" to ask a phone to do the things it easily could do. Phones are not 'naturally' anything; they are what the designers decided to put in there.
