If you don't have people cheating with your malware installed (which you don't actually have evidence for), the literal only possible explanation of that is that no one cares enough to cheat properly.
Using a video camera pointed at the screen to control a mouse and keyboard that are exactly identical in every way to a real mouse and keyboard is not hard to do and no level of rootkit can ever under any circumstance detect it. It's unconditionally impossible for their malware to detect any mildly sophisticated cheater.
That's literally all it takes for an undetectable aim-bot. It is unconditionally impossible to prevent from happening under any circumstance.
If your game is a piece of shit that gives users information they shouldn't have, requiring fucking malware you should be in prison for thousands of life sentences for isn't the solution. Fixing your game so it uses authoritative servers that don't leak information is.
There is no possible scenario where installing a rootkit for "security" doesn't both massively compromise security in every context and prove beyond any doubt that you are an unredeemable piece of shit. It's not forgivable.
