The solution is simple: gaming on a separate device from your regular PC, which does not have any of your personal data to spy on. We could call it a gaming console!

People do in fact, still manage to cheat on consoles. Also, a locked down ecosystem for games is very far from a solution and comes with many of it's own drawbacks.

I’ve never heard of this. Do you have some articles?

On PC without any sort of lockdown mechanism it just becomes a Wild West. FPSes are downright unplayable. Heck, even chess has rampant cheating online.
