On the other hand, ll and y are not pronounced the same way in Spanish.
You cannot say that as an absolute, Cogumela. It may be so in Spain, but there are regional variations. In Argentina, for example, they are pronounced exactly the same.
Actually, there's really no need for any verb, letter, or sound in any language. We can survive perfectly by uttering grunts.

It seems at times as we learn a foreign language (especially one that is largely phonetic) that we hear letters that sound alike. This may be because we are learning a simplified pronunciation that slightly distorts the real language as it exists in various dialects. It is best not to get hung up on these kinds of questions as they will not really help you learn the language better. The pronunciation of languages in general changes faster than the way they are written. Listen to the advice you've received here for your answer and study those verbs! That's the hard part!

I think when it comes to languages, there really is no answer to "why". A language is as it is and we get to appreciate it for what it is.
