First, kernel level anti cheat is more akin to a business owner installing very invasive cameras, on your person, and they watch every little thing you do, including going to the bathroom. If they see something they don't like, you gtfo of their store. Don't know about you, but I wouldn't willingly agree to go into a store like that.

Second, in a game like battlefield... Who cares if someone is cheating? It's not a competitive shooter like CS or Valorant. If someone is cheating, change servers...

If you really care about cheating that much, get a console. Stop giving these companies the okay to install rootkits on your PC.
