Online games are *never* designed this way. Seriously. Everyone trusts the client. When the client gets compromised, people try to implement bolted-on attestation and cheat detection mechanisms. I'm surprised you're surprised. This is *entirely* expected.

also, "all" is a bit absurd there, autoaim and movement prediction scripts etc are far from trivial and you and I both know it. sure it might happen eventually, but that doesn't mean you can't pick the low hanging fruit first.
I'm not saying game devs couldn't try, I'm saying in practice they never do. It's always this story. Of course they could do a much better anti-hack job, but they don't. That takes time and money and slows down the schedule.

Out of curiosity, I vaguely remember hearing that Overwatch does full server-side replication. Any idea on whether this is true?

I mean, I think especially for a company with Blizzard's level of funding, that is the optimal approach, so I wouldn't be surprised. They're invested heavily in trying to build competitive play, hard to do that when you can't gurantee the same rules for all players.
