Cheaters: Why Do You Cheat?

I know the shortest answer is you want to win, but I'd like to dive a bit deeper into this. This post isn't so much out of judgement as it is of genuine curiosity. What drives you to win, even if that victory isn't of your own accord or skill?

For context, I've recently started transitioning from console to PC where I've found the number of cheaters to be astoundingly higher. I've seen several cases of wall hacks in shooters and an aggressive number of lag switchers in fighting games, with the most blatant offenders found in Dragon Ball FighterZ.

Do you still get the same rush cheating your way to the win as you do when you work for it? Are you worried about dropping rank from losing, and if so why? Your rank doesn't really matter if you're not in e-sports, entering competitions, or tournaments.

Maybe I'm old school, but I strongly feel one of the best ways to improve is by fighter better players, learning from your mistakes when you lose, and applying those lessons when you jump back in. That way when you find yourself in that situation again you know what to do and feel satisfied when your strategy plays out.

Again we all know that cheaters cheat to win, but again I ask on a deeper more personal level, what drives you to win at any cost, and so you genuinely feel satisfied afterward?

Edit: I appreciate everyone sharing their thoughts! I can understand time constraints or wanting to just make it through a single player title. To contextualize a bit better I should have clarified the post by asking why to people cheat specifically in an online multiplayer setting.
