Destiny 2 OSD ?

Anyone by chance no why Bungie won't allow OSD for monitoring purposes ? I find it an odd decision.

Anti-cheat measure to avoid any hooking into the game.

To help ensure that every player will have a fair shot at fun and glory in Destiny 2 on PC, we resist attempts by third-party applications to insert code into the game client. This may result in incompatibility between Destiny 2 PC and the features of common third-party applications.

of particular relevance, I suspect...

Voice Communications
“Who’s talking” and visual notification features, such as those provided by Discord or Mumble, are not compatible with Destiny 2. Notification features may still be provided through the third-party application.

Hardware Monitoring
Framerate and statistics overlays, such as those provided by EVGA Precision XOC, MSi Afterburner, and Fraps, are not compatible with Destiny 2.

They blocked all that kind of stuff at launch and they thought that they wouldn't have to work hard to combat cheaters.
