I hear talks about drm and kernel anti cheat being harmful for the steam deck. Is easy anti cheat considered under the harmful a malware category, too?

No, and it's been used in lots of games for years. Enigma Protector, the one that Capcom is retroactively adding to their entire library of games *on top of* solutions like EAC, comes from a shady Russian company and has been breaking games. That's why you're seeing talks about kernel-level DRM, lately.
ETA: Enigma Protector is kernel-level and blocks cheat engines, enforces DRM, and most importantly, prevents anyone from modding their games. It's yet another example of an insane Conservative pushing purity culture ideals onto everyone under the auspices of capitalism.
