How have they not managed to understand that you can't trust the client after all these years? Any anti-cheat software running on the user's machine can and will be compromised. The only unbeatable anti-cheat system runs on the servers and watches everything the client sends very carefully. And even then, the difference between an aimbot and an amazing player is vanishingly thin.

The solution to online cheating, I think, is to let players blacklist being matched with other specific players. Publish the stats of how many (but not necessarily which) players every player has blocked and been blocked by. Let players set a minimums or maximums blocking, being blocked, or ratios thereof for who they are willing to match with by default. The cheaters will all end up in their own little cheater bubble, gleefully aimbotting each other.
