This is definitely true. Luckily for miners there are two other blockchains their mining equipment can make use of which don't suffer from the slow difficulty adjustment. They are both version of Bitcoin Cash (BCH and BSV) and they both have 10-block adjustment periods. This makes them much more resilient to sustained periods of depreciation.
