I think there is still a geometric viewpoint you can bring to the multiplicative structure of C. For example there is the extremely natural homeomorphism between unit C and SO(2). And C minus origin to (R+, SO(2)). It’s completely intuitive for mathematicians to say that 1 and i are separated by 90 degrees.
