Having to push the entire class to learn instead of just the self motivated is a bureaucratic decision. Everyone is paying 80,000$ to be there, it would be problematic for many reasons to ignore those that seem uninterested. For pre-college education, minimum student performance is usually the strongest metric tied to funding. I don't think the current schooling system is set to let everyone find things they will care about learning and not cheating in. It's not realistic to expect no one to want to cheat. Even the brightest student can feel insecure enough in their ability, feel pressured to cheat if they believe those around them will cheat, or just want to get that little bit more ahead of the competition. Cheating is not strictly tied to honesty.
