The hypocrisy gets even worse: the C code then gets compiled to assembly!

Except C developers actually acknowledge that, they don't call libraries written in Assembly, C code.

Plenty of assembly in those projects but no mention of it in the README. Most C projects don't acknowledge the assembly they use.
