why not write all code in assembly?

Indeed! Why not? The reason why humans need variables, functions, types, etc are all cognitive limitations of the human brain. "AI" should not be helped by those constraints.

Less ironically, because LLMs need the patterns of human cognition embodied in source. There's just not enough well commented assembly to train LLMs to imitate.
