the correct answer is stop crying kthxbye
Being corrected is rude? Well sorry that people will disagree with you. I mean... This is not where you'll find an echo chamber. People have the right to disagree...
and you didnt tell the truth. you are also yapping about industry standard practices lol how dare those dirty devs try and keep cheaters from ruining their audiences experience /s
Just because it's an industry standard, doesn't mean that the standard is correct. Kernel level access is restricted to absolutely necessary processes for good reason. Drivers need it to interact with hardware, security software gets that access to protect you from external threats, even the operating system has limits on when and how it accesses its own kernel to make getting infected by viruses harder.
You could argue that that anticheat is a sort of security software because it protects your game experience from other cheaters. I would disagree with that argument because it's not protecting your system but protecting the developers reputation, but at least it'd be a real discussion.
1. it is a kernel level system that opens a backdoor on your system, and it has been known in the past that it is a major security flaw. its not an issue of letting cheaters cheat, the issue is letting hackers into your PC, which is a 1000 times worse
2. EAC is very Linux un-friendly, which means for Linux and steam deck users such as myself, it means we likely wont be able to launch the game at all
