It is a very easy to learn environment and it supports message passing, objects, variables, etc. He's learned some very high level concepts without knowing they are high level. Others have used the exact same UI because it is really very well thought out. No need to get upset, they want coding to be approachable.

So, what you are saying is that Scratch and Blockly use the same UI, but 
"underneath" everything is rather different.
