Denuvo has been disabled many times; however, the amount of work required to modify all the generated injection points is tedious—it's a LOT of work. It seems that fewer and fewer people are willing to spend weeks or months of their lives cracking a single game.

Anti-cheat systems, on the other hand, are entirely different. If you only need to modify one variable in the game, it's much easier because, in most cases, that variable is frequently used. This means you can't add too much overhead to its use, and after all, it's just one variable.
