A ton of the problems, yeah. It has the third biggest software team after BTC and ETH, and it seems that they're actually focused on fulfilling Satoshi's vision.

Another thing is they switched to a different algorithm in 2019 so that FPGAs & ASICs can't be built to take up all the mining supply. The new algorithm works best on CPUs, and regular consumer-grade CPUs are competitive. Because of this it's not sensible to build rigs just to use for Monero mining like it has been for ETH and such which can be competitively mined with GPUs (multiple per motherboard) or ASICs (purpose-built hashing computers)
