Why? Modern games all have 10GiB+ updated constantly that you're not disassembling. What's the difference?

  Kernel vs user mode. On most desktop platforms there's barely any difference, but they're all moving towards supporting sandboxing to some extent.

    Does it matter when userspace software can already read all your files and access memory of processes run by your user? This kernel access boogeyman is practically meaningless.

      > access memory of processes run by your user I don't think this is possible on Windows without administrator. It certainly shouldn't be, if it is. But anyway, the fact that any userspace software can read all your personal files without any user confirmation as soon as you double-click on it is not a good thing, and as I said, all desktop operating systems are attempting to address this problem in some way, including Windows. I imagine the normalization of rootkit-style anticheat has become a pain point for the security team at Microsoft.
