The problem is that anti-cheat and ad networks are requirements for the market that the current market forces have built.
Saying we should be without them, without any kind of plan for how to reshape those market forces, is like wishing for a unicorn pony. When you're a subsistence farmer.
That's why I got out of security years ago. If you could have a completely secure smartphone, but it wouldn't run Pokemon Go, would you buy it? (I've been saying this for a while, with occasional changes to the frivolous application.)
How many people dumped Uber because Uber now insists on knowing your location at all times?
