Why do so many monsters Resist Cold?

Do all (average) Monsters really have already 75% resists in the game? I hoped they suffer in merciless from the same issues like players, except they have special properties are like "Resists Elemental".
I also hope their chaos resist is so low like players ones in Merciless until they are tagged with "Resists Chaos". But if these values are added ontop of already 75% base resists it would be very annoying. However, expecting the worst in PoE always is a good idea so I guess it#s true that Mobs are generaly doped up with max resists, tons of armor and Life etc.
Not the smartest way to make a game challenging imho.


Monsters with no resist affix have 0% resist. Monsters with "resists elemental" have 50% resist. Monsters with "resist cold" have 75% resist. The rare "resist elemental" affix is an additional 40%, and the rare "resist elemental aura" is I think 35% on top of that.

I said "monsters casters really care about" have 75% resists. This is because if you're dealing elemental damage, those 0% monsters really don't put up much of a fight. Even 50% resist is pretty easy to deal with. The only time they really put up a roadblock is when their resists are around 60-75%.

IB Marauder, which deals a good portion of it's damage as fire, hasn't many issues with resistances either.
