Ya, qualia talk is difficult, probably should be left at something like "feels nice to use if you like this type of thing", just like a lot of audiophile talk could be left at "sounds good if you like tube amps". But curious people want to know more and if the core value of your product is not easily measurable than you are stuck with that kind of language.
I think this is a big part of why products tend to follow certain tracks in development. Qualities that are easy to describe / prove / experience are prioritized over more subtle ones. This makes sense, it is easy to prove the new model is lighter or bigger but whether is handles / sounds / feels better will always be up for debate.
