By ignoring cheaters, you're penalizing honest students, who suffer grade deflation as a result. Even if you don't grade on a curve, and there is no resulting grade deflation, the honest students will have devoted significantly more effort for the same grade. Either way, only the honest suffer. Is that an ideal outcome?

But an individual teacher gains nothing for reporting cheaters, even though reporting and handling the aftermath is a huge amount of work.
