Is it really? The Xbox One has been around for years and yet online cheating is non-existent. The only way that's possible is if no one has extracted the enclave private keys to sign modified data. And game hackers are notorious for going the extra mile (development Xboxes have been physically stolen from Microsoft headquarters in Redmond) so it must be very difficult.
The keys are in the Xbox, where else would they be? Each console has a unique endorsement key burned in at silicon level.
This is also how undefeatable hardware bans can be issued, blocklisting the key.

I assume the enclave private keys are not on the Xbox One. Pretty sure GP was talking about extracting keys from devices that have the keys on them.
