I feel like you are ignoring the fact FC might actually have access to the source code of the game as a TD member...

I do not, but as I understand what CRT protection does is this: when the CRT option is enabled on the server, it will send request(s) to the client (either when joining the server or regularly) to check the 'integrity' of the client game files. This only works if some 'data' files are modified (SFS files holding aircraft and modelling data and logic). The game being hacked means that whatever the server ask, we can lie to it. My client can tell that my files are intact while they are not.

A couple of years back a friend and I were kind of shocked by the news spreading that SFS protection is broken and cheats started to flow online. We wanted to prove it and we created a simple engine hack (with tools found online), which we successfully demonstrated on War Clouds (informed the admin team). The server I believe was running with CRT=1 at the time though.

So I would like to join FC: if you want to believe that CRT=2 can protect you, be my guest...
