Good one patching a client-side exploit when I can just run my own build of the game, I guess
Anti-cheat development is an uphill battle in any case, and providing access to the sources help cheat makers way more than it helps anyone else, the majority of anti-cheat solutions depend massively on security by obscurity
You're also generalizing the contrived example of TF2 where the developers gave up on the game, us wanting access to the source is a truly desperate measure because the game is just not maintained, it does not apply to any other popular games
