Very true. I wasted hundreds of hours doing this, if it takes an extra hour to do, cheating would drop overnight

People already pay hundred of dollars for cheats. I don't think it would make that much of a difference.

That's a small fraction of all cheaters. I was a dev of a free open source cheat and our download rates were insane.

Perhaps, but that doesn't change the fact that video game cheats are a billion dollar market.
The goal of good anti-cheat should never be to eradicate it entirely, since that is obviously impossible. You just need to make it so the vast majority of players rarely encounter it.
