OS and embedded dev here. I use assembly all the time. I've even worked on firmware that was entirely in assembly of strict requirements that couldn't be met in C.

Also even machine code hides a lot about how the underlying machine works so if you really want to do computing from scratch you really do hate to invent the universe because there's abstractions all the way up the hardware stack just like there is in software.
