cheaters already have bypasses for hardware-level anticheat. in practice this just serves to restrict us.

There's nothing that hardware-level anti-cheat can do against the monitor having a feature that highlights other people in a game, for example. The computer wouldn't be able to tell.

The only thing that this might stop is someone using something like Cheat Engine to give themselves infinite health or something like that, but I would be a little surprised if that was the common means of cheating these days, compared to something just looking at the screen and putting a helpful overlay on top.

WTF

"Character highlighting", "flashbang recovery", they just had to come up with some corporate sounding names for common cheats lmao. We're just back to LAN parties as far as I'm concerned, sucks for the competitive scene though.

Nividia did this years ago at the driver level. Literally had wall hacks built right into the drivers. Never made it to release cause of the back lash.
