Oh absolutely, and Bethesda is absolutely capable of that. It would be very myopic for them though. They can’t possibly be ignorant of the fact that modding is what kept Skyrim selling for a decade.
Preventing modding would be a substantial exercise in hubris (“we don’t need them”), or one of those intentional failure/tax writeoff things.
They’re gonna block mod tools, just wait.
Considering how the modding community made Skyrim a long-term success, this would be a very foolish decision.
They’re going to try make paid mods a thing again.

If they did that nobody would even be able to play the game, you expect Bethesda to do their own patching!?
