In consumerism it's known that there's overreach, and I won't buy their bullshit when a company has far too much control over my machine just because I want to play a video game.

Fighting games, as a genre, are already designed in such a way that reduces cheating. Every action you take makes you vulnerable, and cheats are usually built around automatic responses. Cheaters can often enough still lose just because the cheater wants to press buttons too and not let the computer do literally all of the work. Cheaters exist in games like Guilty Gear and Street Fighter, but they're so rare and obvious that they become fodder for YouTube content.
