>I'd like to see an industry standard anti-cheat root-kit developed as a publicly reviewable open source project at the very least

An anti-cheat is one of the few areas that truly would ruin its security by going OSS. A cheater can quickly enumerate every method the AC uses to detect cheats, then they know EXACTLY which goalpost to kick into, per-se. 85% of Vanguard's effectiveness is their CONFUSING ban protocols, whether that's delaying a ban to confuse someone testing what's bannable, not divulging details about what avenues are tested, constant updates that aren't specified anywhere, etc.

Case in point, even in CSGO: Just changing the offsets of some game values will break some cheats for several days.

Then handle it server side. Anything you ask the user to install into their kernel should not be closed source.
