Personally, I would love if we could have achievements without the assumption that they were botted and WF races without the assumption that all teams are cheating.
Anticheat usually runs on either ring 3, where applications run, or ring 0, which is the most tightly controlled part of the entire system and the core of the OS. I will also mention that ring 0 anticheat has still been hijacked and used for ransomware before, because all software can have exploitable flaws, and you aren't fixing that without it being a huge pain in the ass.
