As much as I'd love to see something like this everywhere, the problem is it's useless for everyone who loves to play online games or watch DRM-encumbered content, so the majority of the population... because DRM, anticheat and malware all fear the same set of tools/indicators.

Solution: temporary "game mode" that disables most protections that can impact DRM, or a custom rule engine that disables protections if some application is detected to be running (e.g. fortnite.exe or something), but this second method should be done manually by the user.
