I've written file system and volume system code, and have most recently 
loaded the whole file to be parsed into memory and parsed it there as 
RMS was just getting in the way, but generally no.
We've been moving up the stack from machine code to assembler, and from 
assembler to 3GLs, and from RMS to databases, etc., since this whole IT 
road-show got started.
Yes, some few of us need to deal with the arcana of x86-64, AArch64, 
RISC-V, EPIC, or Alpha, but the vast majority of us don't need to 
design and write and support that code.
