This ignores the fact there aren't unlimited resources to develop and maintain a game. Not requiring people to buy gems would improve some areas of the game for sure, but making less money is certain to impact other areas of the game - you always need to give up something in order to fit things in budget.
The Genshin website previously allowed anyone to view the phone number you have linked to your account via the password reset mechanism. Due to common reports of accounts getting stolen (and unable to be recovered), two factor auth has been highly requested, but doesn't seem to be a priority. I'm skeptical that they strongly care about the security of their users.
Even if Genshins anti-cheat is completely secure, as kernel anti-cheat becomes more common it's inevitable that we will get an instance that is full of security holes. Unfortunately as long as the user can't play their favorite game without it, they will happily install it.
Emacs I haven't tried nearly as much, but it has a poor Windows OS experience, and is also historically a "bloated" software ("Eight Megabytes and Constantly Swapping").
Of course there is no reason Vim couldn't be modified to do everything VSCode does but better, but until that happens VSCode will still have a place in my toolbox.

It's very interesting seeing just how much performance can be squeezed out like this.
