I would argue many chess players have the ability to casually gauge cheating, but few have the background in things like statistics to really have a solid handle on the subject. So usually people leave cheat detection to the big websites. It’s a minor genre of chess video content for a savvy content creator to use their OSINT skills to detect cheating, for the viewers to marvel at the skill-less cheating, to report the player, and for everybody to marvel at the ban.
The issue is that nobody can really tell if a single game was cheated on, it’s just not enough data to provide sufficient evidence of cheating. I’ve seen non-cheaters play games where every move is 100% the same as stockfish’s recommendation because the winning line was incredibly forced.
