Most of the source code is in C, and for those, the assembler code is generated by the compiler. So only the C source files are required to build for those. However, in some cases, the author has written the source code directly in assembly level language rather than C, so deleting those is a problem.
If there are no .S files at all in the package, then I'd say that whoever put it together just deleted them all to save space, not knowing that some are source code. If most are there but some are missing, then I'm sure the explanation is more complicated.
