Most general purpose programming languages nowadays are designed to be easily human readable. But with this, I now have to understand the syntax of another "programming language" in addition to the programming language it outputs. How is this helpful in any way?

There are already plenty of template generators that can generate boiletplate code with parameters. This seems like a complete waste of time.

Even as a toy language if I can't tell what it's doing beyond interface with an llm prompt.. What good is it?

Consistency and validity of output is essentially impossible to prove, because this has all the accuracy of both humans famously bad at explaining their problems to machines who understand 80% of it.
