Why are some programming languages better for certain types of projects than other programming languages, when they can all essentially do the same thing and they all seem to work the same way?

Let’s take some extremes. MATLAB is designed to do math. Scientists and engineers love it because it allows them to do some very complicated high-end math very easily. It also natively does 2D and 3D plots of the data. Contrast with SQL, which is designed for databases. It’s strengths are input and output of data, and manipulation of it. Doing math stuff on SQL, or database stuff on MATLAB, wouldn’t be very efficient.
