I agree. Premoves are really unethical and compromises the integrity of the game. There should be an option to "not allow premoves" with an opponent. Premoves are NOT real chess ... and Bobby Fischer would certainly not adhere to such a millennial creation.
Why is there no option to not play people who use premoves ?

Why? What chess shouldn't be is a reaction time competition. If no pre-moves were available, the player would just select the piece and be ready to click on the intended square as soon as the oponent made the move. Mean human reaction time is 0.27 seconds, gamers can get below 0.2 easily. Best recorded human reaction times are near 0.1 seconds. Why do you feel a guy that can react near 0.1 seconds to a visual stimulus should have an advantage in chess vs an average guy that can react in 0.3 seconds?

Yeah, and let's get rid of that pesky feature where the pieces cleanly snap into place on the middle of the square. I want bullet chess to be a messy disaster online just like it is in person!

Just learn to use premoves. That's it. It is the part of online chess. If you don't like it, play longer time controls or/and play OTB (over the board) chess.

I also hate people who premove it is cheating. What I do is I close my eyes for 5 seconds every time I move so if they premove I don't notice

Why would it be cheating if you can do it too? Also with your 2000 bullet rating, how did you get here with your 5 seconds/move…..
I prefer not to use premoves as a philosophical position.
Premoves place the person who does not use them at a disadvantage because of timing effects.
It would be nice if there were an option to avoid playing those who might have 'premoves enabled' selected.
