eli5 Why are we so helpless as babies and can’t do a lot?

I see how other animals stand and walk literally 10 minutes after they’re born but as babies all we do is cry and eat, why aren’t we like other animals?

It can be a difference between predator/prey animals.

Kittens/Puppies/Bear cubs are born quite helpless as well, there’s nothing hunting them. Herbivores had the need to get up and run away from any predator wolf/lion/etc.
