He says this because he kind of ignorantly (his own wordage) wrote in machine code for quite some time before realizing assembly was a thing. So for Linus inline assembly is to machine code as python is to c for a lot of us.
What does he mean by machine code? Like assembly files or literally 1s and 0s?
He didn't realize assembly was a thing, so he was actually writing machine code instructions
