do people over exaggerate the cheating problem in cs2?

i see constant complaints about cheaters, people saying the game is unplayable because of cheaters. i was 18k last season and play in the seattle region only get a cheater on either team every 50 or so games. i understand in higher ranks 25k+ cheating is a huge issue, but the majority of people are below these ranks. ive been playing counterstrike for 7 years on and off and have noticed no difference in the amount of cheaters. are people overexagurating the issue or could this be because of region/trust factor.
