Conveniently, section 1.1 of the current link [0] covers this (it's one of the earlier sections).

Why not? Learning how things used to be done is interesting. With reverse engineering in particular, it feels a little like software archaeology and being the first one to see something in decades.

Objectively, it's probably not worth the time, unless you do a lot of embedded programming. Subjectively, there's no accounting for taste.
