They allow you to use the HTTP protocol which almost every programming language is capable of to request data by its CID from the IPFS network.
You request content from an IPFS gateway by passing a CID in the HTTP request. Since CIDs are a hash of specific data, if the data is provided by a node on the network and accessible by the gateway, the gateway can get that specific data from the network no matter where it sits.
