> They’re also very much required,

The games I play don't have these sort of anti-cheat features; the anti-cheat is handled entirely on the server side. A server admin who is attentive and ready to rollback griefs helps a lot too. But kernel-mode anticheat on the players' computers is not "very much required."

(The game I play most is minecraft, and I think it's more popular than any of the games with this sort of invasive anticheat.)
