If there’s no tangible gain, like prize money or something, then I would agree with that. I can’t really wrap my head around the mindset. I can’t imagine playing without the satisfaction of besting or proper teamwork.

Ranking up is a big part of it, particularly in the modern “Gotta do my X Dailys to hit the Y milestone or the game will be unplayable” style of engagement.
Cheaters have like 3 self justifications from what Ive seen (outside of money)
The enemy is “cheating” but they think they are better than them, therefore they should also cheat to even the playing field. Seen that a lot with the cs2 fiasco
They have fun by making others not have fun. Very common among the blatant cheaters/bot hosters. They purely live off on putting people down.
They want to reach a certain rank. Once they reach a plateau, they resort to cheating to continue towards their goal
