Lua is the programming language that addons are written in. When there is an error/problem, sometimes you will see that error and some bits of code pop up on the screen. Sometimes people just want to ignore those errors and continue on. That is why you see so many answers about how to get rid of them.

I’ll just add that the default interface is itself made up of addons (they just aren’t in the addon folder) so even without any user installed addons, you can still get Lua errors from the default Blizzard interface.

Just from the perspective of full accuracy - some things that are reported as errors may, in fact, be errors in the C objects that are not entirely visible to the client (only the interfaces for these are) or errors in XML code that underpins most Blizzard and some User-Created Add-Ons.
