Monero was released with an intentionally crippled hash function. Whether the Monero devs realized it or not, the crippled hash was included to give someone an unfair advantage.

You are confusing fairness (equality of opportunity) with equality of outcome. This conceptual error is a basic tenet of the Free Shit Army.

Being able to optimize hash functions is something only a few people can do.

It would be unfair to deny those people the opportunity to profit from their applied knowledge and intelligence.

If you can't optimize functions but want cheap/easy early coins, you need to stop mewling and buy them from someone who can and did.

Great, so those in the know got a massive advantage when it comes to mining. This is different from a premine how?
