The way I described it to a friend was to use this analogy: Imagine you have someone over for game night, and before you play they say "Oh, by the way, I need the keys to the filing cabinet where you keep all your tax returns and whatnot." To which you might respond, "Wait, you need to read my tax returns before we can play this game?" And they say, "Oh, I'm not going to read them, I just need to hold the key while we play."

And you would rightly tell them to piss off and get out of your house, because that makes no sense. If you really wanted to torture the metaphor, you could I guess argue that they need full access to your house just in case you decide to pull some loaded dice out of the filing cabinet or something, but that's not really the important thing to me. The important thing is that, regardless of whether or not I trust the developer of the anti-cheat, the game just isn't that important.
