    do anticheat count as antivirus?

    No. But, from the article:

    Microsoft has been speaking with game developers about how to reduce the amount of kernel usage

    The CrowdStrike fiasco was finally enough for Microsoft to look at forcing drivers out of the kernel. This is absolutely a good thing and will hopefully lead to a more stable Windows.
