Because the only people in this lobby will be cheaters lol. Most people don't care about running garbage-tier CoD kernel code on their machines... so I wind up having to because they do, because it's the default.
Although I concede that basically what I'm asking for here is for the default to be _my_ usecase...
Well this guy only wants to play with friends, so he doesn’t care if everyone else in the lobby are cheaters. He isn’t playing with anyone besides his friends.
And why do you care if a lobby exists that you are never going to go to? Why does it bother you if cheaters want to use cheats against each other? As long as you don’t interact with them, I don’t understand why you would care.
You may not have played in a lobby with cheaters, but they ruin the game for anyone else there. Warzone matchmakes you with ~a hundred people, so you can't play with just your friends, so if you have an anti-cheat off lobby your game will be ruined.
In my experience, people that cheat in games like this typically do it to get an edge over everyone else in the lobby. It's not the cheating itself they enjoy but the winning. If everyone in the lobby has the same advantage I doubt they would be content just enjoying the game like the rest of us.
