Why the bass clef exists in music. Take the piano, why can’t the left hand on all pieces just be in the treble clef like the right?

It’s because the bass notes are lower, and would lie outside the treble clef. It would be akin to saying “why not just put the bass guitar notes on a six string guitar”, same answer, they simply wouldn’t fit and it’s clearer, easier and more simple to read and play if you have them separately.

I play the cello and the reason I think the bass clef exists is that some instruments cannot reach such high notes, and it would be easier to write in a lower octet. For the piano, it would be low on the staff if you only used the treble clef.
