Perhaps you think all PoW algorithms are still crackable by ASICs? A few years ago that was the case, but some years ago Monero developers made a breakthrough with RandomX. Now it is no longer true that a GPU or ASIC can outperform a typical consumer device to the extent that you seem to imagine. The Tor project uses a similar algorithm, i think with the same developer contributing to it as RandomX. It is nothing like bitcoin's SHA256 PoW - with that, the performance of an ASIC does indeed mean a consumer PC becomes completely useless at the algorithm
