It's not Make's fault that autogenerated Makefiles are hard to read. The same is true of pretty any much language produced by autogenerated code.

It is possible to write perfectly reasonable and debuggable Makefiles if you do it by hand.

Same for assembly. Does that mean it's easy, intuitive and doesn't suffer from horrible pitfalls?
