They should also show the persistent proponents of these laws. Last i heard they were very much trying to keep their names anonymous.
Who are those persistent proponents?

Tell that to PC gaming right now. Everyone is more than happy to install kernel level spyware to play a game.
People sacrificing privacy for security, sad how much things changed this century.

No joke, when asked about it, they produced a PDF page with a table full of black redacted squares. And by full I mean every single cell was blacked out.

They're sacrificing privacy for playing a video game with moderately less cheaters sometimes when that works, not for security.
And although sacrificing privacy is rarely good, I believe there are some situations that could be acceptable. Playing a video game isn't one of these (to me at least…).

It's some sort of security (no cheaters). As a linux user I am a bit bitter because I wanted to play the new battlefield but oh well, my tendonitis appreciates that.

Do you have a source?

Sure, knock yourself out.
Lots of on-topic discussion, with links to many, many site, including official ones, clearly angling for the "it's for your safety" proposal.

Yeah, you have to be braindead trust a game developer with any kernel level software.
I think a more secure solution would be some kind of virtualized environment to run the game within, which the developer could have full control over, but I doubt that will ever come about.

A more secure solution would be to implement proper security server side, use simple (and cheap!) heuristics to weed out impossible movements and actions, not offload critical gameplay processing client side, and only send relevant data. Some, if not most of that, was how things were done before. No way to teleport wherever, no way to see people across the whole map, and so on. It would not be perfect, but no solution is. It, however, would be very easy to upgrade, and not be a privacy shit-show. But that requires a bit more work from the devs, so I guess the only solution is to give absolute total control over our devices to them.
I can't wait to see the moment we get cheap devices good enough to process in realtime video input and produce adequates outputs. Get that enclosed in a device that acts as a passthrough KVM for the display, but auto-correct user aim, movement, toggles, etc. As long as there's a market, I'm sure people will think about it.
Good luck detecting that with any kind of client-side anti-cheat.
