I think you missed the "computer" part in "computer programming language". It's there because it needs to be for the JVM. It resolves naming conflicts so that having two "component.java" files in the same project don't end up blowing the whole thing apart.
But hey, at least you have a fancy, complicated IDE keeping track of all the "useless shit" for you, right?
