Do you think the 30+ years of user-space isolation improvements that have gone into modern OSes are not undone by a kernel module?

The whole point of a kernel level anticheat in that it can bypass the isolation to find cheats.

The isolation still exists for normal programs when the anticheat is present.

Sure, isolation exists except for Riot Games (and any other company that adds similar mandatory modules, which eventually will be all). Oh yeah, assuming there also won't be any vulnerabilities, but that's impossible, because we all know about the high quality software coming from gaming industry.
