Generally, people aren't writing programs with non-trivial functionality in assembly; they're writing very small, hyper optimized functions that get called by some higher level language.

Exactly ^^^ I taught myself assembly on my Commodore 64. However, I only used it for certain tasks that were suboptimal with Commodore's BASIC and 64K of RAM.
Or in my case, 68K assembly for genesis/megadrive homebrew -- mostly to do VDP display interrupt tricks.
