I don’t think it can be considered malware unless its doing something malicious that you don’t expect. I don’t want or need it on my system, but people who want to play these multiplayer games have a valid use-case and can make that decision themselves.
Of course, you may have just intended to snarky and I’m just being tedious.
Is BattleEye supported on linux? Id like to switch but remember people saying support for BE is not that great, and im mostly arma and dayz player…

DayZ and ARMA 3 both work. ARMA 2 does not though.
the ones I’ve tried yes, it depends on the developers, for example Fortnite is not supported on Linux because they deliberately made it incompatible.
Doesn’t Fortnite use EAC instead?
It uses both, and switches between the two
I can find only mentions of EAC.
Also apex legends and Rust use it, EAC it’s not the reason.
P1: “They are using malware anti-cheat that does not support Linux”
P2: “No, they choose to not support Linux”
Me: “Aren’t they use anti-cheat that do support Linux?”
P2: “It’s not the reason”
fortnite uses or used both, both battleeye and EAC support Linux.

It is literal rootkit, what do you mean nt a malware?
They can’t in most of cases. For them it’s either installing or not playing.
Check your game on protondb.com to see if it runs well on linux
