Not sure where that's from but that's not true. There are no intentional inefficiencies and you can't mine Ethereum individually.

You can mine with you GPU in a pool. You can earn a whopping $4 a week with a mid range GPU.

I wasn't saying that it's intentionally inefficient, just that it's purposefully designed to be ASIC unfriendly.
