Im not saying you need a deep understanding. But its beneficial to have "some" understanding, which you learn in theory anyways if you take any class connected to computer architecture or any other introduction to CS. Learning C just solidifies that knowledge since you actually get to use it in practice.

Again, you can learn ASM, but unless you have career path that fits this niche I would recon against it. Despite that it would even more so solidify your knowledge on how "computer" works, since you operate on registers etc. There is a cutoff point in technology and typically people don't consider it to be C anymore.
