SE isn't going to do it, when there isn't really any benefit to having it, beyond just simply saying that they have it. They would sooner axe future development of Ultimate raids than to waste resources on this stuff.
Many games scan for processes or for changes in their data files on launch. It doesn't really affect performance nor move apps "underground". Blizzard has a long-lasting experience with this - they banned assets change because aside from looks it could be used for cheating. They also look for running cheating/decompiling apps while the game is running. The downside is that some games go overboard and scan your system while having escalated permissions which allows them to do way more than described.

And hardcore competitive games often do not support non-default display aspect ratios.
