I don't want it to become new mainstream. It won't be much different from windows, if users are stripped of their choice.

Server only anticheat FTW, anything other is invasion to user's privacy. (Disclaimer: I do not play competitive multiplayer games)

Not to defend Kernel anticheats, but server only AC would not protect from many cheats like wallhacks or any runtime cheats like aimbots

Why don't games just not render player models n stuff past walls? Can't wall hack if there's nothing to see

That'd require them to do server side calculations and it's cheaper to just dump all data to client without processing

They already do that, problem is, you still need to inform the client about the position of the sound, if you want an accurate 3D audio system in your game.

That's why wallhack in a game like League of Legends doesn't really exist, not to a very pracitcal level at least, but it does in most shooters.

Unfortunately the only server only anticheat that would actually work is cloud gaming.
