I think maybe you should re-evaluate your definition of "perfectly legitimate".

I can understand that bugs happen. It's absolutely possible for well intentioned software to have a fatal flaw that leads to catastrophic security breaches.
But there's no scenario where a game having that access is defensible. It's gross overreach that can't possibly be in good faith and you deserve all the hate you get if anything bad happens.

The way people who cheat talk about input modifier devices leaves a bad taste in my mouth, so I can understand why a driver level system was considered.
Cheaters in online games really are the worst type of people because they feel entitled to ruin other peoples games. It’s one thing to “level up” your solo experience. It’s a different thing to intend to ruin someone else’s.
