I don’t think they will, as gamers have been normalized to root kits shipping with games. It is a shame, but - where the majority of the audience is completely indifferent - unless the anticheat is doing something overtly problematic like causing a drop in frame rates (e.g. Denuvo) it won’t be removed.
But, as an alternative, you can play the game on Linux via Proton - it works, and absolutely doesn’t have root privileges. (note: I’m playing on the Steam Deck, but I see no reason why it shouldn’t work on normal Proton)

Have they gotten rid of the rootkit anti-cheat system yet? Because if not it’s still a pass for me.

(edited for clarity)
Every day the arguments for just ditching windows entirely get stronger and stronger
Same
Doesn’t even make sense, there’s no PVP, why add a rootkit level anticheat?
Pass from me unless/until it’s fixed I think.
Because game has microtransactions
You don’t need that degree of anticheat for MTX.
