I really don’t think it’s that big of a deal. Nobody is pretending that Pokécommunity is a “professional” hacking community like RHDN. Granted, it is the largest
Pokémon hacking community, but bear in mind that SPPf is the largest Pokémon forum. Does anyone expect the majority of (for example) the spriting or fanfiction sections there to be of reasonable quality?
These are people who don’t know how to hack, but see that they can do small changes to their favorite game. What’s the harm in that? Let them do their thing; it’s not like the high‐quality hacks here are unnoticed as a result.

ASM is a natural step up from scripting, and is not difficult to learn. The biggest hurdle in “assembly hacking” is understanding the Game Boy hardware, not actual assembly language.
