The problem as I see it is Magic vs being exact.
Imagine the magical language that builds things for you, based on a high level business document. There may be 15 pages of detailed requirements that expand into tens of thousands of lines of code, but the people who wrote that 15 pages don't truly understand what's going on.
When they change some small requirement on page 11 it may affect the deeper structure of the entire system, and have ripple effects on everything that happens.
The reason "all languages are equivalent" is that if you really try to avoid the magic, you're stuck with the basics that almost all languages share.
