I would guess it mostly isn't an arms race because it is not symmetric.
There are significant asymmetries in tool costs and benefits, especially build versus SaaS. Any tool created would sell in different markets (selling to cheaters versus selling to verifiers).
Also there is a time component for publications. A cheat could test their paper against a tool, only to find that the tool adds new detection capabilities in the future and the cheating is detected.
Look at the markets for plagiarism tools and game cheats.
