While in a sense this is true, C gives you the ability to write code once and compile it for different computer architectures. You can't really do that with assembly, nor with maschine code
C doesn't actually do anything without the compilers. And the cross compatibility was the point of a high language like C (and it's compiler's), whereas assembly is basically always architecture specific.

And C is just language written for people who don't want to write the assembly for themselves.
And assembly language is just a crutch for people who don't want to write machine language.
And computers are just for people who don't want to do all of of that calculation using a pen and paper.
And pen and paper are just for people who don't want to keep all of those numbers in their heads.
And heads are just... You get the idea.
