They want to make it kernel-level with all the verification required to keep it signed and unmodified. Which is asinine.

I thought it was opposite similar to macOS. Locking kernel down to avoid kernel level anti cheat.

No, asinine would be letting just anyone be able to cheat. You're asinine for refusing to accept the truth.

Kernel-level ACs still get broken all the time. Why not invest more in server-side AC and stop caring about the OS alltogether

You'll love this: Valorant not only does as much as possible server side, but it's also built specifically in a way that many cheats simply aren't possible due to the way it handles the game logic.

You'll heat this: It wasn't enough so they added the kernel component.

Supposedly, League of Legends worked the same way, and cheating forums will tell you that there was a massive difference before and after.
