It is because exponential functions are one-to-one. Whether you want to use logarithms or not they exist because a bijective function has an inverse. Logarithms put numbers on a human-friendly scale, such as the Richter scale, the Decibel scale, etc...
27 Αυγ 2020 · So logarithms can quickly tell us whether the rate of change of something is increasing (like a car speeding up), staying constant, or decreasing (gradually stepping on the brake). Let’s use one more example to see how logarithms help us better eyeball the growth trend in our data.
Logarithms are a Math function, which tackle this guesswork avoiding time consumption to solve such problems easily. Logarithms simplify the Math and help to write the relationships in an understandable Math function.
Logarithms are inverse functions (backwards), and logs represent exponents (concept), and taking logs is the undoing of exponentials (backwards and a concept). And this is a lot to take in all at once.

At this point a student asked "Why do we need logs". Fortunately I had this slide from Dr Frost Maths ready, and launched in to talking about how logarithms are the inverse of exponentials and that we need them to solve equations where the unknown is in an index.
In its simplest form, a logarithm answers the question: How many of one number multiply together to make another number? Example: How many 2 s multiply together to make 8? Answer: 2 × 2 × 2 = 8, so we had to multiply 3 of the 2 s to get 8. We write it like this: So these two things are the same:
