What do you mean by "cheating in games is just not that serious"? If you mean viewing life in general, it's not much of an issue: for sure. If you mean for specific games it's not much of an issue, disagree. There really are games that are being completely ruined by cheaters, and that's what they're trying to combat.

And if you ask my solution, why have games boot into their own OS where they can do anticheat in that kernel, instead of the kernel i use for other things too. Something that would achieve that conveniently would be awesome, it's not as if pc's still take ages to boot.

I think they were viewing it from a risk justification perspective. Giving anything kernel level access is high risk, and game publishers have not even remotely earned that level of trust.
