Yeah many programming languages have been advertised to fulfil precisely this goal, that people can program computers via natural language instead of having to think hard and too much about details.

Usually programming languages intend to make editing as easy as possible, but also understanding what the program does, as well as reasoning about performance, with different languages putting different emphasis on the various aspects.

It's the induced demand or river length/flow/sediment kind of situation. Doesn't matter what level of abstraction the language provides, we always write the code that reaches the threshold of our own mental capacity to reason about it.

Smart people know how to cap this metric in a sweet spot somewhere below the threshold.
