This might be stating the obvious, but I think that probably has more to do with the quantity of ASCII codes, and less to do with the "translation" itself. I have significantly more difficulty reading hex dumps than I ever had reading G-code (that's the machine code that runs CNC mills, most 3d printers, etc). After a few years of working in a shop, I was fluent enough in G-code to be literally talking in it (on occasion, when appropriate) while debugging things. Hex dumps are far, far more intimidating for me to manage.
