[…]problem is that difficulty adjustment is not automatic and its done only once every few months so […]
Last time I checked it was automatic and done each 2.016 blocks, which should ideally take 14 days time (10 minutes per block at average).
When the difficulty gets adjusted, it gets automatically set to a level, which would take exactly 14 days to mine the next 2.016 blocks. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Difficulty
I’m no friend of PoW in general and even less so of the way Bitcoin implemented it (resource hungry arms race for specialized hardware compared to PoW done only by general computing devices coughMonero), but insinuating there’d be some manual adjustment is disingenuous.
