You do have a point, but it's not a slam dunk. Intuition isn't some fixed thing but arises from personal experience. A lot of that is common to a culture, but there are different cultures and in any case, some truly personal aspects remain.
There needs to be a balance between creating new, more powerful intuitions, and meeting people at the intuitions they already have.
Case in point, Git's branching model is pretty intuitive when you understand how Linux kernel development works. Perhaps 0% of the people you've worked with have looked into that. That's fine. Different cultures...
Another example that may be worth studying is mathematics and the hard sciences. Learning those is a lot about learning powerful intuitions.
