This also applies to Valorant. I know a lot of people look down on both games, but it's still unfortunate for Linux to lose access to such a popular game.

I thought this part was particularly interesting:

Half of anti-cheat is making sure the environment hasn't been tampered with, and this is extremely hard on Linux by design. Any backdoors we leave open for it are ones [cheat] developers will immediately leverage for cheats

Nothing in the comment I replied to indicated that apple wasn't allowing kernel-level anti cheat. It just says their apple client doesn't have it.

BUT they can't implement it on MacOS because Apple won't allow it

Ah, I didn't go back far enough. Yeah, that's fair then. In fact, I wonder how possible it is to just run the mac build on linux.
