It depends what the code has access to is the point.

If you play any of the games on this list that use Easy Anti Cheat the code has all the same access.

The difference is that Riot's thing starts on boot instead of when the game starts. I don't think anyone's rebooting for security reasons after playing Fall Guys or Fortnite.

The complaints are somewhat legitimate, but the fact that they're focused on Riot and not the dozens of games that do basically the same thing is... off. What Riot is doing isn't much different than the stuff that's already happening that nobody cares about (even if maybe they should).
