That's the point. A read only container to keep low hanging fruit at bay, and flatpak to distribute without having to repackage to every distro under the sun.

I don't fuck with the game, the game doesn't fuck with my system.

That doesn't protect the game in any way, that's the issue. If you don't fuck with it, it doesn't mean that everyone else doesn't as well.

Their anti cheat rootkit doesn't protect the game either.

How do you know?

Because cheaters still exist, and we're well aware of the methods they use that would never come close to interacting with your operating system.
