Really? The anti-cheat is right up there with proctoring software in what it watches on your system. Much of this information is sent to an external service outside your control.
While it’s true that the company managing the anti-cheat has a vested interest in not abusing their access to private information, individual employees or external actors who have compromised their systems don’t have the same interests.
The big thing here though isn’t really privacy per-se, it’s security. The kernel drivers used by these systems are given full access to your computer, and so are often abused by third parties to uninstall security software and install malicious software and adware.
