One thing to note is that CSGO can be considered a play-to-earn type game; you play the game, get lootboxes, get lucky, sell the item for... idk, hundreds? thousands? So it's an incentive to cheat and buy new copies of the game if found out. A single item can be a month's income easily.

Mind you I don't know if that's the case on privately hosted servers as well, since those could be manipulated to give players the points needed to get the lootboxes.

That system incentives against it. Your inventory becomes locked meaning worthless if you get the proper ban. So for farming stuff, it is much better not to cheat.

Not that there isn't options of making money that do benefit from cheating. Like creating high ranking accounts to sell. Which some people buy for the status of the rank...
