True. Machine code usually has a 1:1 mapping to assembly so it’s not hard to read machine code as assembly. Although you will not see any of the labels (unless for some reason the the labels were left in).
You just have to be able to navigate whatever executable file format it is, figure out where the data/code sections are, how different parts are linked together, and translate all the binary opcodes to readable mnemonics.

binaries aren’t assembly though, they’re *peers at notes, draws a blank* they’re… something else
I think it’s most commonly called machine code.

Easy. 😁
They’re assembled into binary (together with metadata in some cases).
