When the end product is supposed to have any semblance of reliability and durability, even human beings do not communicate in natural language.

As an example:

- Science: Many non-natural languages and notations used for communication, math being the most obvious.

- Laws: Looks like natural language when you squint, but actually very rigid and un-natural.

What does that have to do with the CEO I mentioned? They're not writing math or legal documents, yet their wishes are still materialized. Whatever the intermediary processor utilizes is unimportant.

It's an example of large domains where natural language does not work well enough, as a counterpoint to the arbitrary, niche CEO example of a situation where it might work. It is responding to the entire thread, not just your comment.
