The story goes like this:
GShade - a closed source fork of Reshade - had an extremely annoying forced update system that would make it simply stop working if it detected an update was avaiable - this system existed because the dev is an asshole and didn't want to tell people to update if their stuff stopped working because some GShade presets had fucking DRM and would not work without connecting to their API - and you'd only know that when it booted the game. A teenage girl made a fork of it that circumvented that because it was fucking shit. In response the dev threw a hissy fit and added malware code to GShade that would shut down your computer if it detected the update bypass running, saying bullshit like it was "meant to protect users from possible malicious third party code" and "could have done something worse" (extra lol on this one)
Everyone proceeded to tell him to fuck off, he removed the reboot code but kept code that would shut down GShade if it detected the fork while writing some bullshit copyright for GShade presets. Everyone proceeded to tell him to fuck off part deux and now everyone migrates back to Reshade.
Bonus: Github nuked GShade because of this and anyone that still had it installed can't use it anymore because it used Github as DRM, while people who use the bypass can
