  1. Kernel level anti cheat doesn't stop this from happening. 2. Giving them this access is a violation of all of our privacy. It's completely unrestricted access to everything on your machine. 3. Devices exist and are becoming more popular, that sit outside of the users PC watching watching the gameplay and making adjustments on the fly to player input to counter things like recoil. 4. This makes this unplayable for Linux users and contributes to Microsofts forced update bullshit. If Microsoft cared about security they wouldn't allow this type of anti cheat. Plenty of BF games existed and functioned without this.

Kernel level anti cheat will not save you from cheaters. It only creates another vulnerability that opens us up to exploits and kills users privacy.
