And who the hell mines on CPU? Can't mine anything worthwhile on gpus anymore, let alone CPU.

Monero is far more efficiently mined with a hefty CPU and plenty of cores instead of a GPU.

I wish crypto would move away from POW; every new coin still uses it, and it's the biggest reason for all of the hate crypto currency gets. But, most coins are people with scarce programming skills, just copying Satoshi's work, hoping that their shitcoin will get some traction and they'll be able to cash in before it collapses.
