Why is the game rated as gold even though the test log says the workaround didn't work?

You're right, fixed.
Kernel-level anticheat
by Akihito Mikazuki on Thursday October 15th 2020, 12:32
Hello, this game will not run currently because MiHoYo has implemented a kernel-level anticheat that cannot be emulated by Wine currently. There is possibly a workaround *that I have not tested*, wine-eac, although last I heard it can run games at a whopping 1 FPS.
