According to experts on kernel level anticheat, two things are abundantly clear: 1) It's not perfect and 2) It's not going anywhere

Like Denuvo DRM or shader compilation stutter, "kernel level anticheat" is one of the most high profile issues dogging PC gaming in recent years. The default position of most gamers is that it's a crutch used by "lazy devs", it ruins performance, and could even compromise security. However, after reading games marketing veteran Ryan K. Rigney's Push to Talk report, in which he interviews multiple professional anticheat experts, it's clear that the tech's here to stay regardless.

kernel level anticheat shouldn't exist it's effectively high end malware/spyware with access to stuff it has no right to and it wouldn't surprise me if before long someone like the EU step in because of how much it breaches a users privacy to shut it down and do us all a favour.
