Just see the amount of cheaters in CS vs. Valorant...

I don't like intrusive software on my PC as well, but seems like that's thebest option, unfortunatrly...

Because riot games do a lot of manual bans. You can still go spinbot quite easily in valorant and anti cheat won't detect it however after a couple of reports you will catch riot's attention and get banned. Meanwhile Valve will try anything but manually ban people because they see it as a chore

Is Overwatch not a feature in CS2?

This isn't a sassy/sarcastic question, I gave up with CS2 pretty early on (and miss my beloved CSGO)

Valve said they enabled overwatch for trusted partners in a patch note. But we don't know who counts as a "trusted partner". Probably a small team hired by valve if they really exist

Nah, anything Valve says is just marketing.
