I don't say that.
The higher the hashrate, the harder it is for ordinary people to mine. Imagine AWS, Azure is mining.
It is just about efficiency not about CPU, GPU, FPGA or ASIC.

Interesting point. Although the point of easy-access mining is not that you will be able to mine anything considerable with a 2010 intel celeron cpu.
It's that anyone in the world can mine buy buying off-the-shelf parts from a brick-and-mortor store next door, even if they need to spend a lot of money.
No matter how much I spend, it's nearly impossible for me to source any asics.
Exactly, that's what I'm talking about. I said you can calculate SHA256 by hand.
I've got something to show you. Bitmaxi in Korea starts running finger-size mining machine today.
