    It’s relevant working with microcontrollers or other resource constrained embedded systems. For example, the ESP32 series of microcontrollers have an ultra-low power processor core that can do a few things while the main core(s) are powered off, but you usually have to write a separate binary for these. It can be handy to know Xtensa or RISCV assembly for this process.
