It's mostly those annoying ACs with kernel modules like EAC, BattlEye, ESEA etc. that do anti VM in an attempt to prevent cheat devs from 1. debugging the AC without at least a little effort and 2. having a clean OS but reading guest RAM from the host to avoid the anticheat entirely
For mouse and keyboard I just use the evdev forwarding thing where you press both ctrl keys to swap between host and guest
There's actually been a lot more of these that don't get CVEs It's one of the reasons I prefer to game in a VM with heavy network filtering and egress only through VPN
There is little to no care from game developers about security, games with actively exploitable RCEs (see pretty much the whole CoD franchise) are just allowed to stay up on Steam
Gamers are also kinda dumb and oblivious to RATs etc which doesn't help
