VAC is not kernel level, because surprise you don't actually need kernel level to do anti cheat well.

VAC games would just get the standard AC message banner, not the scary yellow kernel level warning banner.

... I am pretty sure VAC games have indicated on their store page that they use VAC for well over a decade.

I'm sure you're right, but VAC is one of the worst examples for that... I think whatever Blizzard does with Overwatch 2 is a better example.
