That's what second approach is about. If cheaters can use technology to improve their gameplay through an automation - why not enhance everyone's gameplay by making such automation an official built-in game feature?
Look at all the hype 0x10c got on here because the ship had a programmable computer.
Give the players some emulated low-spec hardware they can use and an API they can use it with.
Even if it doesn't appeal to everyone, it might keep the worst of the botters away from the games that don't want them.
