Oh, that's an easy one.
- GOOD software are simple and easy to understand, which makes it EASY to cheat.
- BAD software are needlessly complex and finicky, so it's HARD to rig it for a cheat.
- Anti-cheats intentionally make software BAD and over-complicated, so cheaters would have hard time modifying it. But computers are brittle and also aren't smarter than humans so cheaters will eventually find a way.
- Security is completely irrelevant topic since game clients are "bought" and run on your hardware; Digital Restrictions Management built to work against you as user is anti-consumer, anti-right-to-repair, anti-human, super bad thing, and lots of efforts are made to keep PC away from it as much as practical.
It has nothing to do with laziness or cost. If anything it'll be the best programmed game that gets hacked fastest. And PS2 that gets emulated last.
