When performance is super important, assembly can be good. Higher level languages have constructs that make it easier for the programmer but takes longer to compile to machine code. Admittedly these cases are probably quite specialized Some do it for fun/hobby. I know of someone who made a game for the old Sega Genesis, which is written in assembly
