How do you know if grades matter for your future? In my first uni year, I had no idea I'd get a job before my studies were over. If there's an actual correspondence (eg you get next year scholarship for your studies only if your GPA remains above X), that's an incentive to cheat, so there is one issue. And while curves do suck, it also sucks to be compared with someone having photographic memory in most exams where that is a very useful skill (even though the exam is not sttempting to favout photographic memory). Or some lazy bag who is more talented at something so it took you 10x more effort to get the same understanding. Basically, you are stacked against so much, that cheating is just a small part of all of that. In short, it sucks being compared to people using everything they can to their advantage. But then again, that's what happens past university too, so it's just real life.
