Serious question: Why not have it generate assembly?

Because that is a movement in the opposite direction from the one yielding the improved results. Putting an LLM on formal system guardrails is the best of both worlds: high tempature stochastic generation gated by theory-laden checks.

Having a high temperature model operate with no safety net more than a segfault sounds like the worst of both worlds.
