Personally I don’t care if people cheat but you have a valid point I think. It happens a lot. For what I have seen always with good intentions: helping and learning.
One more reason, out of many many more, to not take online ratings seriously.

So I've noticed SOME streamers (esp. on Twitch) are cheating by getting advice from the viewers who are communicating via Twitch chat. It's not typically the top-rated streamers, but I've definitely noticed it happening a lot with people in the 1000-2000 rating range. Some streamers do a good job of telling their audiences not to help give hints during games, but it remains a possibility at all times and seems like a serious potential for unfair play. Chess.com (and I guess other sites) need to develop a protocol or rule about people who stream and ban those who use Twitch chat to get help during games.
