Don't expect an honest report from chess.com, think about how that conversation would go in the event he _was_ cheating and they caught him:

Public: "So he's been cheating recently?"

Chess.com: "Oh yeah, he cheats all the time. Everyone does, really. Online chess is like 50% cheaters/bots, don't expect any real humans here, this is like 10x worse than Twitter."

This doesn't even remotely line up with the data they cite.

It’s not an assertion, it’s a hypothetical. If the situation was bad, they would never admit it.

If the situation is that bad and cheating is that easy, soon there will be researchers cheating all the way to Elo 2000, just like there are researchers submitting garbage papers to prove that some journals are jokes. That will be interesting too so I am not against your vision.
