I believe, if it was possible, a merge mine with Monero would be the best possible choice for Bitcoin.
It's not possible, because their mining algorithms are completely different. Monero uses RandomX, which is incompatible with ASIC miners. It is also theoretically practical to create a Monero ASIC, as it would require making a better general-purpose CPU than those of Intel and AMD, both of which are worth hundreds of billions, because they specialize in researching and optimizing CPU performance.
