    The issue is that without it cheating is so much easier in many games. So then people just get pissed at all the hackers.

      Yes, if they offload all of the compute for anti-cheat to the customer’s hardware, then you are right for current operating systems.

      Client side anti-cheat is not the only way but it is the cheapest way for the game industry.
