DICE doesn't just use FairFight obviously. They have their own in-house solution, also used by some other EA games.
And TBH you're complaining about 380 people which is a drop in a bucket compare to the number of players on that game, yes cheating sucks but I can assure you there are people actively working on that problem at DICE.
Incorrect, FairFight is their in-house solution and this is the only tool that they use client-side for Battlefield V[1]. They've dropped the third-party PunkBuster anticheat tool since Battlefield 1.
Other EA games use other anticheat tools for example Apex Legends uses Easy Anti-Cheat[2], which is much more efficient to track and ban cheaters.

The Firestorm mode has so few players now (I estimate 3-10 games running in parallel in the world depending on the time) that it has a huge negative impact on the game. You only need 1 cheater in a game to ruin it for everyone else.
You're asking EA to devote hundreds of thousands of dollars of resources to maintaining a game mode that apparently only a few thousand people engage with now. I know it sucks for the people dealing with cheaters, but from a resource-allocation perspective it makes a lot more sense to focus on new games and (I assume) Battlefront 2.
I’m sure it’s not uniquely American. It’s just a standard strategy for the GOP. Defund, then complain regulation doesn’t work and deregulate or allow regulatory capture.
Maybe, but the other side of the coin is "it's not working, so let's just blame lack of funding", irrespective of if there is actually enough funding to do something worthwhile or not. The goals are always nebulous and allows both sides to complain.
You don't know what you're talking about, FairFight is a third party solution that EA pays for but it's not the only anticheat technology used by DICE.
