Game streaming would not stop cheats, a lot of cheats now work with a capture card and a device that modifies your mouse inputs, you cannot stop that without REALLY good serverside
Maybe the cutting edge R&D of cheats uses that technique; AFAIK it’s far from mainstream.
Not to mention entire classes of cheats that require manipulating the rendering engine (e.g., wall hacks) just don’t work.
Also with Widevine DRM you can leverage all the crypto crap that the MPAA has forced into our computers over the years and protect the video stream between the GPU and display. That would more than likely screw over 99% of those capture cards.
