That's only for userspace apps. In fact even on Mac, only userspace code can be handled by rosetta2. For most applications this isn't a problem but a lot of games these days come with kernel components for anti-cheat.

Not on macOS, specially since Apple decided that in the long term only userspace drivers/extensions are allowed for third parties.

I would be surprised if kernel-level third-party anti-cheat is a thing on macOS.

I cannot imagine a game whose installation instructions start with “first, reboot your computer and disable SIP” would be very popular.
