Low-level code often omits high-level intended behavior (description, pseduocode, documentation, test cases, etc.) and semantic meaning like variable names. In such styled codebases, the absence of these makes it harder to refactor, reuse and/or modify than say concisely & precisely documented codebases in higher-level languages (Python, Ruby, Go) or quality asm.

I'm struggling to see what you mean about variable names.
