It does eliminate most of wallhack opportunities, unlike CS:GO/PUBG/CoD:Warzone/Valorant.

CS:GO does not belong in that category

Each one from that list could be removed by a certain criteria. By server-client architecture and netcode CS:GO is worse than the others by a few miles, yeah.

Its really not, it has full server side simulation/verification, PUBG has none and is completely client side for instance.

The only viable hacks in CS:GO are aimbots and extremely limited wall hacking (basically you can see a few "feet" around corners, the server does not send you any other data).

This compares to PUBG where you can press a button and headshot the entire map at once, while flying through the air and spawning guns.
