Is it really more natural for a non-programmer than "if statement is true than a else b"? I can't evaluate because of decades of C, so for me the python logic is still bizarre.

Maybe?

For C at least it doesn't have the actual words, so you need to know what the specific symbols are var = condition ? a : b. In that expression we don't know what a or b are in regards to the condition.

Python literally is a if condition else b, so it reads out what is being done.
