No one decided cheating in multiplayer games is fine. But invasive anti-cheat software is significantly worse, and frankly doesn't actually work. Automated detection tools can help, but ultimately you need mods / admins to properly stay on top of cheating. Trying to replace those jobs with incredibly invasive software installed on every user's device is just a sign of a trash developer or publisher.
