I'm less worried about bugs causing boot loops with these kernel anti cheats and more worried about security holes.

I'm sure they test these things thoroughly though and take security extremely seriously.... right?

Look up that one genshin fuck up on the internet. Their kernel anticheat was used by ransomware to completely take control of people's PCs. Best part? You didn't even need to have genshin installed, because the AC was bundled with the ransomware, and Windows would install it as it was "trusted software"
