They don't have to be faster than humans though. Again it's the whole cat and mouse thing.

Kernel level anti cheat could detect the app sending the mouse messages or detect non hardware messages and would have rendered them absolutely useless. Could also detect things reading apps pixels which is how they functioned.

Incorrect, it would detect it once, and then obfuscation is developed never again.

The cat and mouse game goes on, but now every single player is vulnerable to a history of malicious attacks they wouldn't otherwise be.
