The music is already written down the orchestra play what’s written, so what difference does the conductor make apart from the tempo?

Think of a conductor like a director for a movie. Think of the sheet music as the script for a movie.
Directors convey life into the script. They interpret the script and instill humanity and emotions into what are just words on paper.
Similarly, conductors instill life and emotion into the music.
Conductors do much more than just keep the beat. The take the bare music and give it life. Any computer can play the music but it will never sound as it does with a properly conducted orchestra. Conductors control the crescendos and decrascendos, the attack of the instruments, and even alter the speed at which they play certain passages, all to elicit the emotional response from the listener.
