Keep in mind that it's an answer to the question "Why don't we program in assembly?"
Computer Science majors should be familiar with how compilers work and the theory behind them. But the answer to the question is that for 99% of cases, using a higher-level language and leaving the optimization to a compiler written by subject matter experts makes sense. (ie. Don't re-invent the wheel.)
