    Kernel level isn’t about stopping cheaters, it’s about gaining system access

    Their source comes from it giving system access and that is what they want.

    Of course, no unfathomably demonic corporate entity would ever choose to track users and target them like that, to for instance sell products with zero repressions due to a lobbying hate group bribing lawyers to make it legal
