I'm not sure but what if these ASICs are firmware-upgradeable and can be adjusted to any changes in algorithm?
ASIC with it's dedicated architecture is not so easy "firmware" upgradable. There are thousands of Bitmain D3 X11 miners, which now gave around 3.8USD daily, (they spent more electricity), and no "update" to some similar algo (X10, X13, X15, not from producer nor from community)....They are still expensive noisy heaters. A lot of people lost their money on those ASICs. Also, Baikal as another producer, do not fulfill their obligations to buyers for theirs multialgo ASICs...
