Why is 100% efficiency unobtainable?

I know every conversion of energy has loss, whether its heat, light, noise, etc. But why is there no way to combat it?

Probably due to natural forces that cannot be overcome long term. Let’s say you make one of those perpetual motion wheel type generators you see on line. You’re always going to have some sort of friction within the bearings which in turn produce heat lowering efficiency.
