100% this. Game companies want to treat games as e-sports platform, but that's incompatible with casual play. IMHO, the solution is to allow self-hosted community servers and adapt matchmaking to this, or ditch it entirely; social mechanisms will handle cheating there just fine, like they always did. Separately, create e-sports track, where entry requirement is kernel level anticheat or playing on vendor-supplied hardware in vendor-approved location or whatever bullshit is necessary. Just don't mix the two.

But iirc TF2 always has community-hosted servers.
