    We’ve already established you have to trust the client to some extent in a typical game.

    Also do you lock your front door despite people being able to lockpick it? Most people do because it raises the barrier to entry.

      Do I lock my door? Absolutely.

      Do I let strangers into my home? As little as possible.

        Most people put security cameras in their homes despite them being able to be remotely hacked. Lots of people have an Alexa which could also be seen as letting a stranger in. A lot of people use tools that could be used to compromise their direct use but trust they don’t as for things like anti-cheat being malware. That’s all FUD. There has not been a single large anti-cheat company known to be sending unneeded or personalized user data.
