The whole reason I stopped playing competitive online games was due to cheaters. The keyword is competitive. At least for me, I was always striving to get better and to move up the ranks. When you're consistently coming across teams that have one or more cheaters in them, the whole match becomes pointless. If that happens enough times, you lose the drive to participate anymore. For non-competitive games, that drive generally isn't there, so it probably matters a lot less.
