What you find is intuitive is only what you learned, and it’s fine to hold that opinion, but it is contrary to what I have learned. For all the criticisms I can and do levy against Apple, not arbitrarily redefining the control scheme that their customers have used for almost 40 years is a mark of respect. Every single keyboard shortcut can be easily redefined to be whatever you want it to be as well, including those of the Finder, through the Keyboard pane in System Preferences. People who find that they can’t get used to hitting Command instead of Control can even just flip the modifier key bindings with ease there on a per Keyboard basis.
Lastly, it’s not “Enter”, that’s actually a separate key binding in some circumstances, but “Return”. Return is a text entry action that typically enters a new line, and by default, begins (and ends) a file rename operation in the Finder; one of the very few functions in which text entry is involved at all in the Finder.
