But when Turbo C with assembler (TASM) came out those were just great. And by that asm output generating feature it was often way faster way to write something first in C, translate to asm and go from there do what you wanted with that asm directly. I'm not sure which higher level compilers came with that feature, but once available it was many times just great thing to have for sure.

Turbo C didn't exist when MSDOS was written. Or any compiler for the x86.
Yes, you are correct.
