1. It doesn't actually work.

2. All it actually does is keep users trapped in Windows. God forbid anyone actually use Linux, or even a VM!

The only actually effective anti-cheat is the original: moderation.

Now that users aren't able to host their own servers, they can't do moderation. Game studios don't want to do moderation themselves, so they keep trying (and failing) to replace it with automated anticheat systems.

Why did hosting your own server stop being a thing?

Because people prefer to pay 10x as much to have apple/google/etc host it for them. It's still a thing for people who know what they're doing and the experience is vastly better and more private and secure.

Game companies want the centralized model so that they can stay in control of how the game is used to continuously monetize it and to forcefully retire it once they want to push a newer one.

This here. Cheaters will always find ways to cheat. Theres already cheats that run on completely separate machine so they cant be detected. Legimate customers keep getting screwed.
