There are really 2 kinds of cheating in competitive games (counter-strike etc). The first are cheats like an overt aimbot, which are blatant and where basically everyone gets shot in the head from a mile away whenever the cheater has line-of-sight. These I imagine are only fun for trolling. The second are cheats that are more subtle, showing you the location of hidden enemies etc. Since these aren't just a "win button", the cheater still gets some satisfaction from winning. After all, they still had to shoot and kill the other players, and they're not guaranteed to win. In their mind they still won, they just had a little help. This kind of cheating is akin to cheating in sports by using steroids. You still have to do a lot of the same work, but it's easier to win.
