Monero is > 1600 transactions per second and it's set to scale with CPU power and network bandwidth along with further improvements to the underlying implementation.

Proof of Stake is much greater still. Cardano and Polkadot for example.

I thought CPU power was great until someone pointed out to me that this just encourages botnets.

While CPU power theft via malware is a real issue, it in no way prevents Monero from working well.

It actually just adds more nodes to the network. And of the many forms of botnet malware, it seems one of the less harmful.
