There's no such thing as "ASIC resistence". The idea was first popularized by scrypt, but it turns out you can also add a lot of RAM to an ASIC. A few GB isn't even that much anymore. Monero adds some algorithm randomization, but you can add an FPGA to your ASIC... Essentially people can build new ASICs faster than you can get a new PoW adopted
