My point is that if you choose to ignore this characteristic of assembly languages, what exactly is an assembly language? C is a comparably high level language, which affords it things like portability and optimizing compilers. Assembly languages are used for minute and immediate control of the exact implementation.

I think the joke/humor/analogy is that C compilers are so good and C itself is so low level, that you don't actually gain much (if anything at all) by dropping down to ASM now (compared to 10-20 years ago).
