Is this a Linux problem? I've never had to look for this detail before in Windows.
Mostly, and even some Windows users don't want to install software that has such a great amount of permission over the entire system just for a game's anti-cheat.
It's nice that users can now know beforehand if a game uses such software. Avoids refunds.
Unless, of course, they add it months after release drastically limiting your chances of refunding (looking at you EA WRC 2024 😡)
If they change the deal they should have to offer refunds. This makes it an expensive choice after the fact.
That sucks : (
