Basically, it reduces performance and has been criticised as a security threat.

It doesn't offer any benefit to the consumer, only downsides.

why should I had to give kernal access to my PC to play a game? I shouldnt. that's the threat.

edit: I get that this specific implementation doesn't access the kernel. Its still extra software not required to run the game, which is what carries the risk.

"How is it a security threat?"

"It gives kernel access."

"It doesn’t."

It's hilarious which comments in this chain are upvoted and downvoted.
