Game companies encourage cheating because these types of users buy multiple accounts (ex. Tarkov for RWT) or buy multiple subscriptions (ex. MMOs like WoW for RWT)
There is no reason to believe they couldn't eliminate cheating over night if they wanted to.
They have no problem pouring money on psychologists helping to exploit human behavior for maximal profit via microtransactions, but somehow "struggle" to deal with cheaters. Best they can do is kernel-level access to your computer that can potentially do irreversible damage to said computer (either from third-party exploiting this) and it doesn't even work more than half of the time.
All anti-cheat systems are rootkits of variable invasiveness.
