Yeah that's what I thought too.

I think they could even get those cheaters to pay for the non-cheaters. Say they pay a monthly fee (I'm not sure if it's the case for DotA? I don't play any games right now). You create a monthly challenge where you get a chance to get a month of subscription for free! But you make it very hard for the cheaters to get it, like a ration of 1/20 (either through shadow banning or by redirecting them to an almost impossible challenge).

Another alternative I thought, you could monetize cheaters by pushing ads to them whereas the non-cheaters don't get any ads.

And you could make it so that if you don't cheat for a while, give up all the items/experience you got while cheating, you're welcome back to the normal process. Just to keep them paying the monthly fee as they have a path to redemption.
