> For one, transpiling is an unnecessary word,

No, not really. Transpiring is an entirely different problem, and one which is not limited to programming languages. Transpiring involves parsing a high-level language down to an intermediate language, and afterwards encode it back to a high-level language. Therefore problems involving semantics enter into play, instead of just transforming high-level constructs down to primitives.
