The begging of his rant was was very much all over the place but towards the end he very much honed in on the loss of keyboard efficiency. I'm sure everyone who has experienced keyboard efficiency can agree.
I think the part you quoted is an interesting problem. I agree with his statement that UIs are not necessarily intuitive, however I do believe they are easier to pick up than keyboard inputs. Seeing older people try to navigate websites shows me how much "intuitiveness" I take for granted and is actually just experience. I think the focus though was that the "intuitiveness of a GUIs" is not worth the loss in efficiency, especially when we have the capabilities to combine the two interfaces into one system.
One thing he said stood out to me, which was that including a mouse interface on a primarily keyboard-based system is much better than trying to add keyboard functionality in a primarily mouse-based based interface.
