Why can we not use a for loops (we know how long each instrustion takes and we know our crystal frequency so we ca calculate accurate timing.

Mentioning 'for' loops implies that you're talking about a high level language - yes?

Although you can, indeed, calculate the timing of the low-level machine instructions, you cannot tell in advance what low-level machine instructions your compiler will choose to use to implement the 'for' loop!
