As a contrasting anecdote, Australia uses IRV for many of its elections, and I think it's fair to say that most people understand how it works and like it. Absolutely, it's more complex than a simple majority. But I think "bizarre" is unfair. In practice, I think it helps to provide a diversity of representatives that more closely reflect the diversity of views in the electorate.
