yup, and a simple SHA256 ASIC is so cheap and easy to make.
RandomX is really hard to implement on hardware, so creating an ASIC for it is gonna be really expensive.
CPU's profit from it because it's specifically made for CPU, and the memory hard operations make mining on GPU's the same as/slower then CPU mining.
