Would you be opposed to SE implementing a program to scan for addons/parsers?

Just because you've never had a problem doesn't mean hundreds or even thousands of other players wont. Square tends to use Denuvo for games that it does have anti-cheat software for and I have heard nothing good about it, and it stands to reason that they would use it for FFXIV too.

No but listen, I've never had negative experiences with authority abusing its reach, so clearly you never have either.
Anyone saying otherwise is clearly just trying to justify their thousands of cheats and mods used to sabotage my game's success.

Most people can't think outside of their own worldview, perspective and experience. They assume whatever they have experienced is what everyone else has experienced as well.

I mean you can apply this logic both ways. People claiming about overreach or negative performance tend to be the minority yet act like they are the consistent voice among populaces. Anti-Cheat software by and large has been acceptably used by many MMOs and while some implementations have been janky or ineffective others have been consistent and well done. There's probably more well done than not in the MMO market specifically, proven by the fact that many people even some in this thread, don't seem to recognize when this software has been installed in their games before, but most people don't talk about the successes here because it doesn't help paint the narrative they are forming.
