Yes. It sounds like they removed anti cheat from linux for a spell and watched an uptick in cheater switching platforms. So they weren't willing to support the anticheat, removed it from the game and watched cheaters flock to the platform. I don't think they are saying linux users are cheaters, just that cheater will use linux if vulnerable.
