People have been cheating on tests for as long as tests have been around. That is born from experience. You haven't made any compelling argument to support why

  At a certain point you just have to accept it happens, and build systems the deal with it in a reasonable way. With some imagination you can build systems that handle it without punishing minorities. To do otherwise just shows a lack of imagination and compassion. Personally I think we can do better, and that is enough of a reason.

  I remember taking some online test for a freelance job site that stated they had mechanisms in place to detect cheating. So I googled a bunch of stuff in Javascript then translated it into a different programming language (they wanted Python, I think.) This cheating was not detected. I didn't want the job anyway, so I bailed out after I "passed" the test.

  The cost benefit ratio would show it would be wasteful to throw out 20% more diverse candidates for 5% false positives. Much cheaper to deal with those 5%.

    Is that just your opinion or do you actually have numbers to show? Your comment isn’t clear.
