That's RandomX doing its job. It generates random programs and runs them in a virtual machine built to stress the parts of a general-purpose CPU, like L3 cache, branch prediction, and out-of-order execution. And when ASICs did show up in 2018, Monero hard forked to disable them, later adopting RandomX as a more permanent fix.
