Functionality and purpose have a large role to play. Many people think of programming languages ranging between Assembly, C, Basic, Java, and Python for computing tasks, but there’s also the languages used in robotics and CNC machines (G-code frequently). The languages used to create useful applications and graphics don’t necessarily have great features for commanding motion from physical components: such cross-compatibility would unnecessarily bloat any universal programming language, and require greater training to use.
