To build the short list of potential algorithms to use as Bitcoin's new PoW, I focused on 4 criteria: 1) Existing fleet of ASICs available. Without this, the first manufacturer would get a HUGE advantage - and Bitcoin would be dominated by malicious botnets in the interim. 2)

A spreadsheet evaluating various cryptocurrency mining algorithms (including SHA-256, Ethash, Scrypt, X11, Equihash, Blake2s, and others) across four criteria: ASIC availability, ASIC performance, developer enthusiasm, and current deployment, with most algorithms marked "Moderate" or "Poor" for fleet availability. The chart appears to support the post's argument that switching Bitcoin's Proof of Work requires selecting an algorithm with existing ASIC infrastructure to avoid giving first-mover manufacturers a massive advantage.
