Regarding VRChat
My work often involves reverse engineering software, so I generally have at least three applications with kernel-level access running at all times. This is so I can see what programs are doing at runtime, such as what files they open or what registry keys they access. A great example is Microsoft's SysInternals Suite, which I use in this old blogpost to check whether MelonLoader was doing nefarious things or not. I also have Process Hacker, a provocatively-named but benign open-source Task Manager replacement running at all times to monitor system load. Process Hacker installs kernel-level drivers to show what SYSTEM-level services and applications are doing, with the same level of detail (if not more) as SysInternals.
When EAC was introduced, I realized I could no longer play VRChat, as I have played other games with EAC and they would refuse to open if I even had Process Hacker open, due to the hooks it automatically installed into open applications. I also decided I could not comply with the ToS, and uninstalled the game in accordance with the Terms.
