The cheaters and cheat developers will just move to Windows, and the legitimate Linux users will quit. I don't see the upside, this doesn't solve the problem.

A YouTuber explained it as follows:

On Linux, Anti cheat runs on the user level. The cheaters are on Windows and spoof their OS as Linux, so they can run anti cheat on the user level, not flag as suspicious and then run kernel level cheat software.

I have no technical knowledge myself, have no idea of this is true and shall not be taking any questions.

also with the rise of kernel anticheat nowadays, people have already been moving to hardware cheats which would be platform agnostic.
