Compilers just didn’t get as good of code as assembler. Really, for the 6502, 6809, and space constrained 68000s assembler was really fun and just worked. Have a decent macro assembler and some discipline and assembler was pretty easy and understandable. Heck, I’ve seen C code that was a whole lot less clear or understandable.
