Yeah, but FACEIT doesn't work either. None of these anti-cheat products do - they usually stop casual attempts at cheating, but in the face of any dedicated attacker (including subscription cheats and hardware mods) they're pure security theater.
The only exception I can think of would be Vanguard, which only works because it's an aggressively maintained bespoke solution (and a complete security nightmare) - but even then, it's still defeated by hardware mods.
