Marin there is an unspoken assumption in your argument.
The assumption being that all users have good chat reading skills, that all
of them have good to excellent spacial relationship skills for interpreting
a 2D image into the real 3D world and that they are familiar with and
remember all the necessary steps in reducing and optimizing the amount of
data being displayed to a usable level.
Some people have absolutely no skill in reading a map or chart.
Others can read it regardless of orientation, ie north down or sideways.
Trained and experienced people can often interpolate beter than the display
can present data.
This is partly an acquired skill developed with training but ther is also a
core element of being "born with it"
Your extensive experience with aircraft has given you exceptional skills not
found in the general population.
I know of Power Squadron students with the same clas room training asI have
who are very much less able to comprehend radar images even when overlaid
on a raster chat image.
For that mattr they have some difficulty reading a regular paper chart until
someone explains it to them.
