I suppose machine language and assembler are foreign languages these days with few practitioners but the MBA's want things done cheap and dirty especially if they can outsource if offshore.
This is a serious system design matter. MCAS does its job as planned. It is just the wrong job. There is no need for assembler to speed anything up. It makes code harder readable, less maintainable and certifyable ... oops.
