SE puts cheats and mods even super soft insignificant mods in the same bag, if they remove cheats they will have to remove every single mod out there through one of those third party anti cheat tools that verifies game files etc, anyways if that ever happens this game will die, they will see a drastic drop in their income because either you like it or not this is a very social player driven game and a huge part of the community like RP, housing use mods and if you take away their toys from them thats an instant enrage. Ironically raiders use alot of QoL tools through mods (mods that SE have been implementing into the game lol) and i already see ppl also getting mad. The thing is that SE cant and will never ban mods (and therefore cheats) cuz that will straight up kill the game.

If anything the patch cycles are so slow and there such a lack of current content since EW that ppl that keep playing are mostly RP players, Cafes etc during downtime while other players just takes breaks or quit the game till something new drops and that doesn't happen often (patchs now releasing every 4-6 months)
