Valve surprised me 1-3 years ago. I had a compromised password because my steam account was created in my youth and has not been used since.
Someone figured it out and used my account to cheat in counter strike. Valve banned the account one week (!!) later. Now the account can not be used to play their competitive games anymore. Needlessly to say it was a lifetime ban.
To this day I keep wondering how they can fk this up so bad.
Why I am even allowed to play CS without 2fa enabled and without Email confirmation for the first login? They also failed to block the login from Thailand despite it's creation in Germany. This could have been so easily prevented.
Not sure if they fixed this yet. Otherwise you have your answer, why there so many more cheaters. It is not just the kernel extension. The most basics are not in place.

This is because any barrier to playing the game is also effectively a barrier for someone to buying their lootbox crap.
