Valve will never add kernel level anti-cheat like Vanguard, because it doesn't work on Linux, aka the OS that runs the Steam Decks and soon the Steam Machine.
The market share for Linux is growing rapidly, especially as Microsoft continues to shit the bed and forcibly insert Copilot into people's computers. Valve can see the writing on the wall and implementing something like FaceIt would drive away the linux crowd and make the most popular game on Steam not run on Valve's own hardware. They'll never do it.
Not to mention that FaceIt won't even run on Windows 10 anymore, so you have to accept turning your computer into an AI slop machine to play a version of the game where you can't even call people niggers. Insane.
I'm sure they're working on something behind the scenes (Source: I made it up) but what they really need to do is bring back the Overwatch system in full force.
Cheaters are incredibly obvious to any player over a couple hundred hours. Sparkles on youtube is making a killing off of his Overwatch videos, which is great incentive for Valve to allow more creators into the program. They have a lot to lose, which makes them perfect for Overwatch. They could open it up to people with old accounts, high ratings, history of trusted play, expensive inventories etc.
They have systems in place to stop cheaters, it just seems like they refuse to use them.
