If you're writing sloppy C code your assembly code probably won't work either

Except everyone writing C is writing sloppy C. It's like driving a car, there's always a non-zero chance of an accident.

Even worse, in C the compiler is just waiting for you to trip up so it can do something weird. Think the risk of UB is overblown? I found this article from Raymond Chen enlightening: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20140627-00/?p=633
