Cheating is a very real problem in most competitive matchmade video games. The fact that you think that this is an "excuse" conclusively indicates that you don't actually have experience with them and that you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
> This entire idea is so dumb it makes my head hurt. You can't eliminate bad actors no matter how hard you try. It's impossible in the real world. ... Even if a single person bypasses it, we can question everything.
This is clinically insane. 99.999% of people, including most of those two-sigma below the mean in terms of intelligence, correctly recognize how stupid of an argument this is, and that eliminating the majority of crime/cheating is absolutely a huge victory that is worth sacrificing for.
Think about that - some of the dumbest people in our society realize that the argument "if we can't stop every criminal/cheater, then there's no point in trying" is bad. What does that make you?
(it's also abundantly clear that you have zero experience in finance or security, either, because anyone competent in those fields can tell you exactly what it means to impose costs on an adversary and why your argument is factually incorrect)
