Which raises the point, why don’t they just improve their server side cheat detection? Something like sending the mouse movement data + accuracy etc. in between each round and scan it. If it comes out positive then have the community review the footage. CSGO does this very well IMO. Especially since now we have AI and people have made pretty good cheat analysis models for server side anti cheats

Because anti-cheat isn't the point. They're trying to get you used to installing invasive spyware on your machine in exchange for a little temporary Privelege.
