No, people do advocate for this. It may simply not be as portable however as something that is high level able to be compiled to assembly for many machines.

It's the logical outcome of believing that human skills aren't important and that you can "think at a higher level". You can't spend all your time thinking at a higher level if you cannot fully trust the output and the assembler argument is just taking the thing to an extreme to make that point.
