Even if there was One True Assembly, few would want to program in it directly, and we would still have different ideas about how to generate it. There would still be functional people and OOP people and procedural people. There would be tradeoffs where different approaches would be objectively better.

I would like a One True Assembly because it would make it easier to develop new languages. :)
