[Python] While vs For loop counter

Just starting out with learning Python, but I can't come up with the logic behind this and I was hoping someone could clarify.

# this works without a counter
Numbers = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
for Numbers in Numbers:
print(Numbers)


But

# this doesn't work without a counter
Numbers = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
while Numbers in Numbers <= 5:
print(Numbers)


So 'for loop' can progress through each value and report it, but 'while-loop' can't? Why does 'while loop' require a counter variable to progress when for doesn't? Am I understanding this correctly, and if so, is there any practical reason for the discontinuity?

EDIT: I appreciate the comments about how the loops work but that's not really my question. After thinking about it, I think I came up with a better way to ask my question, and again, I apologize if this all comes off as hopelessly ignorant, but I only started learning coding/python 3 days ago. So previously I was coming at it from the direction of why while-loops don't have similar functionality to for-loops, so here's the same question from the opposite direction... Why do for-loops exist if they are just a simplified while-loop?

#convince me this isn't a for loop, and if it is, why do for loops exist?
Numbers = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
x = 0
while x < len(Numbers):
print(Numbers[x])
x = x + 1
