Seems like a bad faith argument, seat belts are so that your skull (hopefully) doesn't detach and fly through the window if you get into an accident - a life and death safety measure. It's way more dramatic to make a fuss about that. However, in both cases you can choose to just not drive (or play the game) which people are choosing to do.

Then again, none of your comments here seem like they're in good faith, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Cars are actually a great analogy here but probably not in the way that user intended. The way we use them and the scale at which we use them are inherently unsafe, but seat belts and air bags are an illusion sold to make us believe that we solved the problem as best we can, even though we didn't.

As someone who has been in a few accidents (both as driver and as passenger), seatbelts saves lives. I wouldn't be here typing this if they didn't.

Having seat belts is objectively better than not having seat belts. It doesn't mean that the way transportation is structured around cars in the US, for instance, is safe enough. Having kernel level anti-cheat may result in fewer cheaters or less obvious cheaters, but it doesn't mean it's worth giving that company such deep access to your computer, as the video shows.
