Not all anti-cheats are kernel-level though, only the most invasive ones are. BattlEye, the one used in this game, is not one of them, though I don't know the specifics of how it works.

Sure, and I don't have issues with those, provided they are happy living in a sandbox. I think clientside anti-cheat is stupid for other reasons, but I won't actively avoid a game just because it has it, provided I can separate it from the rest of my system.
