IIRC it's more about allowing other ways to achieve that, rather than taking away what's already possible, so anti cheat developers will still be able to ignore that

Well, I guess CrowdStrike (or anyone else) wouldn't be happy if they had to suddenly rewrite their entire codebase for the new way. And it might be missing features at first, etc.

Here's a quote from some security VP from Microsoft:
