I think we majorly disagree on the definition of "harder" and "just as easy" here. I don't consider that making me "wrong", I consider it a difference of opinion. One could argue that it is indeed harder to copy assembly code especially when you do not understand it, or like you contradictingly already stated, when the architecture differs. I was speaking in the context of "the general sense of people casually copy/pasting source code" which I was also implying that meant that those people also did not easily understand assembly already. Sorry for the confusion.
