All programming is a trade-off between what's easy for the developer and what's fast for the machine.

Sure, you could theoretically write everything in Assembly and it'd be blazingly fast; but unless you're a particularly elite developer, that process would take forever for any program more complicated than a calculator, the result would be super buggy, and those bugs would be very hard to fix.

On the other end of the spectrum, you might imagine a natural language machine learning compiler which translated directly from human prose to binary. It would be dead simple to "program" anything in; but such an application would probably be unbelievably slow, and again, have a staggering number of difficult-to-fix bugs.

Somewhere in the middle are modern programming languages that abstract away all of the stuff that's necessary but hard for humans to wrap their minds around (memory management, API interaction, network stack, etc) and let the human write clear and unambitious code to handle all of the business logic and displaying it to the user. The result won't run as blisteringly fast as writing directly in Assembly, and it won't be as quick to market as Vibes-to-ASM, but the application will be developed in a reasonable amount of time and be reasonably easy to maintain.
