Perhaps the issue is, partially, structural?

I know some games are super competitive, but what if we generally went back to user hosted (and moderated) lobbies? They clean their own house. Some cheaters would get through, sure, but I feel like there's more social pressure not to cheat among a group of friends vs. raging strangers.

because online multiplayer games are now made as a service. they need a centralized server for matchmaking and give you access to micro-transactions

An online lobby where cheating is completely allowed

Wouldn't that just be a modded server?

Nah, that would be 2b2t. Anarchy Server - no rules except preventing the server from functioning.

2b2t, the oldest anarchy server in Minecraft

We can't have that, it would stop them from killing games to make you buy the new version and would probably make implementing microtransactions harder
