Edit : but good news for Botnets

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.
This does raise the question : does the end justify the means ?
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.

The problem with having botnets securing the network is that botnets do not have the best interest of the network at heart like normal miners do.
Miners in general behave in a way thats beneficiary for them and do not hurt their network. Botnets basicly change miner behaviour from
honest mining to selfish mining. I prefer honest mining (Bitcoin) over selfish mining (Botnet-Driven Network) any day.
Then one has to wonder if this will all be for nothing anyways, this fight against the natural evolution of mining (ASIC).
It doesn't matter what miners believe or want, the real threat is that due to the economy of scales, asic farms centralize to regions to where electricity and hardware is cheapest. That region right now is China--does anyone really think that if China's government sees cryptocurrencies as a threat they won't seize operations and destabilize networks? I know people are being chimerical because they can't do anything about the threat, but sticking your head in the sand doesn't diminish the threat. Unless you can make electricity and hardware the same costs the world over, this threat will remain in regards to asics. At the very least we know botnetminers do their best to remain off the grid as that is in their best interest, and while could see states engaging in botnetmining to take control of asic resistant coins, that's more a product of coding, so no one really has a monopoly.
