I guess not so great news for GPU miners...
Edit : but good news for Botnets
This does raise the question : does the end justify the means ?

Lingering concerns
Perhaps a more realistic concern in the mind of Ehrenhofer and others is the proliferation of botnets on the monero network as a result of a
CPU-friendly mining algorithm like RandomX.

First of all who cares about the miners? It's security that matters, period.
You wanna mine and profit you are gambling, if you mine for altruism then you don't care.
And having botnets mine Monera and secure the network is always preferable to them attacking legitimate networks
So I don't see any problems at all here.
