What kind of massive startup ROI are you expecting to make from a highly niche bit of middleware?
Just because something is possible doesn't make it profitable.

Worse the game publishers make more money from cheaters than from legit players.
Cheaters have to keep re-buying the game when they get banned.
The incentives are for publishers to ban cheaters... but not too fast... and that's exactly what we see happening in practice.
Kinda interesting huh

I doubt it. Especially since the games where cheaters are most rampant are f2p.

Video game industry is massive, and cheating is rampant and ruining peoples experience in game. I don't think it's the craziest idea
