Why is creating multiple accounts considered cheating?
Multiple accounts might be usable for cheating, but the rule says that creating multiple accounts is in itself "cheating". How? There may be completely legit ways to use two accounts that have absolutely nothing to do with cheating.
For example you could have one account which you use to play serious games with long time controls, which you consider your "main" account, the one that truly reflects your rating and strength.
Then you could have a secondary account that you just use to play blitz and bullet games very casually, just to relax and have fun. You may want to play rated games with both accounts, but you might not want to mess the rating of your "main" account with these more casually played games.
How is this "cheating"?
I'm not denying that part of what you said was true - people don't always use mulitple accounts for cheating. However, too many people were using multiple accounts for cheating purposes (including farming), that chess.com wrote a new rule that did not allow multiple accounts.
As for the part that you said "the rule says that creating multiple accounts is in itself cheating":
Chess.com wanted to short-circuit this cheating right away, and the only way to do this was to ban the use of multiple accounts.

Yes, but with permission , a secret 2nd acc should be allowed as @ChessCOM and team would be knowing that the 2nd acc is the one's. So they cant cheat

Dear Chess.com Member Support,
This is chess.com user 2Ke21-0 (chess.com/member/2ke21-0). Since chess.com has always been a proponent of public information, I have always wondered if there was a way to make one's online games private, so they can't be used by other players for preparation. It came as a disappointment to me that playing anonymously in another account is considered a version of a fair-play violation unless the user is a titled player. I only ask for permission to open another account because I am a very serious player (rated 2026 USCF and 1846 FIDE) and have been a chess.com premium member since 2016, which are the essential credentials for an exception to be made, as said by chess.com's IM Danny Rensch in the May 2020 State of Chess.com: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7PI9Q9uoSE (41:58 - 46:12). Therefore, I kindly request that chess.com grant me permission to create a secret account, under which I can play games without having to worry about concealing my opening preparation. In return, I accept that chess.com may socially disable the account by preventing it from being listed on the leaderboards, preventing me from competing in cash events with that account, etc. Whether or not you fulfill my request, I respect your decision and am regardless grateful to chess.com for the great site!
Thanks,
Advaith
I wish I could write like that.
