It takes more work and resources to do what they’re doing. They already do server side anti cheat. And realistically, this is more effective than not doing it, though it definitely still gets defeated anyway. I would say the things that it asks of the customer are not worth the trade even if they were 100% effective, but they are more effective.

I offer:
0.2% more effective detection of cheaters (theoretical)
You offer:
Full and total access to every single file on your computer, all of its hardware, and all connected devices, via kernel level access.
Do you accept?

I mean… the people who play these games very regularly do accept that.

Yep.
I would argue those people are extremely silly, but apparently some people just literally do not value privacy, data security, at all.

Blind consumerism is rampant.
