Because Ryan wrote it like this 10 years ago and nobody bothered to rewrite it in C.
Back then, I'd guess most developers were relatively fluent in assembly, so if there's only a small change to make, they'd just change the assembly and move on.
Everyone knew assembler back then. I did and I'm no developer today.
I...don't think that's true. Or the reason why.
Anyone doing, say, OS development, sure.
