At the highest level of play, players who cheat to gain and advantage could be causing actual financial harm to others. The professional scenes of these games involve non-trivial amounts of money.
The sad thing is that in the professional scene you have a lot of players who are legitimately very good, but who still use the cheats to gain an edge.
The solutions to these problems are mercurial and at some point unless you get the players in one physical space with controlled/organizer supplied hardware it’s impossible to keep things clean but it is a real problem and it has real consequences for players who compete at that level.
