I mean, didn't the nvidia private driver need to be added by recompiling the kernel? They could just install it like that right? Not that i approve of it, but i think there is a way.

    True but they can be a version compatibility nightmare. Plus part of that being recompiled in means the non blob bits are open source in this case GPL and MIT. A anti cheat would not want that to be open source as it would be a cat and mouse game with the cheaters having an open book.
