What Lynis claims is nonsense for desktop and workstation machines. Every software developer who programs in C, C++, or assembly needs a working compiler and assembler and must, of course, be able to run them with normal user privileges without being an admin (root). You can slightly increase security by denying normal users access to a compiler, but that really only makes sense on servers, not on systems used as workstations or desktop computers.
