Isn't the age or kernel level anti-cheat tech coming to an end, thanks to Crowdstrike mishap a year ago?

MS is trying to limit kernel exposure: https://www.theverge.com/news/692637/microsoft-windows-kerne...

I doubt they'll end kernel-level AC, though. At best, they'll get more stable kernel-level anti cheat because better APIs are available. Anti-cheat software would run as a hypervisor if it could, and even then it wouldn't have enough access to catch all cheaters.
