With circular motion, you can spin threads, mill grain, move a wheel forward, drill holes, bring water upwards, generate electricity spinning turbines, create gravity, defeat gravity. It’s just too OP

Not to be overly pedantic, but fire is naturally occurring. Humans only invented ways of utilizing it.
Simplifying what the others said, humans discovered Fire. But they did invent the campfire, the torch, the cooking fire, the pyre, and a bunch of other “fires” (as tools).
So, the “invention of fire” makes sense just fine, I think
Wheels in the form circular rocks are also naturally occurring. Plenty of human “inventions” are actually just finding useful applications for existing stuff. Like penicillin from mold. And organic iPhones from the Apple tree.
I love pedantry. Just to kick it up a notch, I’d like to point out that people are a part of the natural world, therefore our technology is a part of nature. For example farms don’t seem natural, but I think most people would agree that ants are natural. Some ant colonies engage in farming, and we accept that as a part of nature.
