The problem is not that players fear cheese -that shit tends to be bad in Bo3 anyway-, the problem is that at live tournaments, top players would have their network of bootlickers who scout other players for them, so any good newcomer without a name or network, they would have that information disadvantage. With OTS that information gap is gone.
Stats are still secret, so you can still cheese through unexpected calcs or speeds, since not many mons run 252/252 anymore. My best tournament last season was one in which I won mirror matches just by being faster.
