I believe what you are meaning by assembly is native code or the executable bytes that a compiler/linker/assembler output?

Assembly is just another language (or more precisely: family of languages).

Compiling a for loop to a slightly different syntax of for loop is a much different problem from compiling a for loop to conditional jumps.
