Why are there things like c++ and python when computers have to be programmed. Why does there need to be so many languages when one could solve it?

Could be way off base as an engineer not a programmer but my understanding is the computer itself doesn’t care what language you program in. All those programming languages are full of tools and shortcuts to make programmers lives easier. But all that work is run through a compiler that translates it into instructions for the computer.
At the base level you have a chip with billions of transistors. Transistors make gates and basic gates can build more complex gates. Those gates can then be arranged to make all sorts of logic circuits. After years of building up from those basic gates we have where we are now.
