Very true. It will be interesting to see how Valorant develops at the pro level, when people have found more creative ways to use abilities and more strategies involving abilities.

Mechanically... yes.
Lower skill floor and lower skill ceiling.
Why?

-Bigger head hitboxes. Less accuracy needed to hit head. In CSGO, the difference between a super mechanically sound player and a mechanically good player is really noticeable because the head hitboxes are smaller, the super good player will show his better accuracy by hitting those hard shots more consistently. In Valorant, there will also be a noticeable difference but way smaller and will give less results.

-Some mechanics in Valorant has lower skill cap. For example, the spray control. In CSGO, even at the top level, there is a very noticeable difference between the best spraycontrol pros and the mediocre ones. Elige, Xantares, Electronic etc has insane spray control, showcasing it regularly with consistent spray transfers that they reliably can do due to their insane control of the spray. With Valorant's RNG added to the spray mechanic, it dumbs down the mechanic, makes the difference between the people with the very best spray control and the ones with worse spray control. Going for the high skillcap spray transfers is way less reliable and way less rewarding, if the RNG isn't on your side.

These are the two major ones I can think of.

Shroud for example said that in Valorant, "everyone is a god and hits insane shots all the time". He said CSGO was easier for him, because there were very few people who were gods.
This is also because the skill cap is lower.

Tbh I'd leave CSGO for Valorant instantly but the gameplay is just not appealing to me

Everything else is there tho... The anti-cheat, the 128 tick, the regular updates...

Does Valorant have many cheaters? Like to the point where you semi-regularly get in games with/against cheaters?

In CSGO, the cheating situation is fucking crazy right now.
I know Valorant apparently has a more advanced and intrusive anticheat that is supposed to be a lot stronger than VAC.
I am just wondering if it gives results?

And knowing that the Valorant anti-cheat is way more intrusive and a way bigger invasion of privacy compared to anticheats like VAC, do you like it as it is?
Do you think it's worth to have that kind of anti-cheat, if it results in way less cheaters?

I would be interested to hear this, because I think CSGO should implement a similar anti-cheat but there are so many people who say stuff like "Valorant still has plenty of cheaters" or "no one wants that spyware on their PC" and shit like that.

People are massively exaggerating how ignorant americans are but there is definitely some truth to it as well.
But it's only natural that people living in such a large country has less knowledge on geography outside of their country.
I'd imagine the case would be similar in countries like Brazil.

I live in an european country (Sweden) and literally everyone I know can name plenty of states...

California, Florida, New York, Alabama, Texas, Illinois, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Washington, Virginia, Arizona etc are all very known in Europe as well...

Of course there are some lesser known states, that people for sure can't name but generally people here in Sweden at least knows plenty of US states.
