It can be used, for example, to assemble code you write yourself. That
is, after all, the primary purpose of programming tools: to help
programmers develop programs.

Anthony listed a number of packages that require nasm for building. That
is a clear case of nasm being used by packages in main.
Nasm and ndiswrapper are in not comparable in any way that makes it
useful to argue that ndiswrapper should be kept in main.
