Anyone who truly wants to win in any game or sport will push the rules as far as they can go, up to and including the laws of nature. From schwalbes in football to breakneck descending speeds in the Tour de France, that's part of what being good at a game is all about, finding an edge on your opponent and using it when they are unwilling to.
Cheating is different, cheating is
breaking the rules, acting as if certain rules don't exist, or don't apply to you at all. That's not a matter of degrees, it's a fundamentally different concept. By equating "people doing things I don't like" to "people breaking the rules", you muddy the waters, contribute to the term losing its force, and as a result help make cheating more acceptable.

If PA Team believes a feature is being misused, they can change it. They don't even need evidence for that, unlike the MHs, so all the complaints about how the MHs don't do anything unless the evidence has been handed to them by the gods don't apply. Even if they can't figure out a way to prevent it mechanically, they can always add a rule banning the behaviour they dislike. For that rule to be applied, the carved-in-stone evidence I mentioned
is required, but at least at that point it's made clear what is and isn't allowed.
