Valve gets money from people who cheat. People have 10+ accounts with CS:GO so they can switch around when they get caught and banned. Every account has to buy its own CS:GO license so that’s more money for Valve. Although it’s probably very small in the grand scheme of things the existence of a cat-n-mouse game encourages multi-accounting because there’s a small window of opportunity for cheaters to benefit before they are caught. If the anti-cheat system is too good, nobody would cheat and therefore nobody would have multiple accounts for cheating purpose because they would get banned too quickly for it to be worthwhile.

On the other hand, Valve loses money from people who won’t buy the game (or quit and stop buying hats) because of cheaters.
That’s a pretty baseless conspiracy theory.
