Matchmaking rather than finding opponents/matches on IRC and private servers is also a big factor modern cheating.

People are locked in to the game with you in Valorant or CS, they are penalised for leaving and thus can be held hostage by someone who is blatantly cheating.

In older times, you would just quit and find another match, or if it was a community public server they will get banned.
