I think this post is addressing some of the weaker security arguments against putting anti-cheat software in the kernel. The issue isn't that such software provides no value (obviously it does if developers continue writing anti-cheat kernel drivers despite the backlash). The issue is that software running in the kernel can unintentionally enable vulnerabilities that would be impossible if the software was running in usermode. It doesn't require compromising any supply chains.

My Ivy League school is threatening to suspend me if I don't shut down mystartup 2 years ago

Did the university indicate what part of the code of conduct they believe you've violated? Might be worth reading through that document.

Ask HN: Those of you who don't use AWS/Azure/GCP, what do you use for hosting? 2 years ago

I would highly recommend DigitalOcean (https://www.digitalocean.com/) - they started with a simple VPS offering but have expanded over time. I've been using them since 2013 for hosting personal site/small projects and they are highly reliable, communicative about any maintenance requiring downtime and transparent about pricing.

Feel free to check them out. If you want I can send you my referral link.
