5X is a gigantic underestimate of how much developer time has improved. How long would it take a good assembly programmer to implement a CRUD web server connected to a database? Way more than 5x longer what a mediocre Python programmer would need.

You know you can call import functions and call libraries in other languages than python? If everyone was programming in assembly then there would be plenty of libraries to make database calls or make web servers in assembly, and there would be plenty of tutorials online that you could copy and paste to get things going, meaning it wouldn't take much work at all. It would be more work, but not orders of magnitude more work.
