People are just more used to and exposed to texts written in, say, Englisch in comparison to code written in, say, Solidity.

There's no "just". People will always be "more used" to human languages than to programming languages (especially esoteric ones).

Moreover, human languages will always be more simple at expressing human interactions than programming languages. "You pay me 2.5% of the agreed sum on the 25th of each month" will always be infinitely more understandable to an average human than whatever the implementation of that would be in Soldity.
