You miss that 100 classical games OTB are an eternity, and 100 online blitz games are nothing.

And yes, while cheating online is shabby, hardly anyone took online chess seriously before the big money tournaments started during the pandemic.

And that the whole chess.com affair is a side show that is exploited for streamer content and clicks. The relevant issue is cheating or not cheating in the Sinquefield cup.

A cheater is a cheater. They are making a choice to cheat. It's not an accident. They know it's wrong, they know their conduct is hurtful. It doesn't make any sense to say that no one took it serious. I'm sure people that lost to him would feel otherwise. If he's so good why would he even bother cheating in tournaments?
