Sometimes we use super technical precise language to say something that we later realize is fairly simple. It might be obvious in retrospect but take us literally thousands of years to figure out. I have so many examples of that phenomenon.
Anyway, other times we just need new words for all sorts of new concepts. Even the smartest humans are stupid by default and ordinary language is outstripped by our intellectual ambitions.

If you’re from the US, much of the vocabulary is unfamiliar because education on these concepts is intentionally avoided in public schools. I can’t imagine why…

I learned all of those from my small town USA education.
Weird.
