It is a pain, but ultimately the users suffer. Dev time goes to this nonsense, and it also forces the game to literally run slower, especially for server side validating things like inventory.

No one should be releasing tools for the express purpose of simplifying the process of making these hacks. It has no real upside, and hurts a lot of people for no reason.

We'll have to agree to disagree on that one. Security through obscurity is a terrible long term plan. Yes in a perfect world it would be lovely to be able to trust clients more. Even more so outside of games where the stakes are often higher. Sadly we don't live there.
