It's about code optimization and efficiency. Most assembly code these days just relies on compilers for optimization as hand optimizing is extremely time-consuming work.
To add to this, it's also very easy and very likely to write assembly that has zero speedup or even significant slowdown versus what the compiler will write.
Hand written is impressive? I thought all code was hand written until AI

It's handwritten assembly as opposed to bytecode generated by a compiler, from handwritten higher level language.
