The human intuition starts out naturally oriented around cause and effect, linear timelines of events, and state change over time, because that's how we've evolved to conceptualize the physical world around us. When you're designing large systems this model doesn't scale, but it's absolutely the most intuitive on the small-scale. This is why languages like Python and Basic are so accessible for newcomers.
