On the one hand, I could agree that the existence of cheating industry is not ok.
one can find even more examples of weird ways of students cheating and appropriate consequences on Dhar Mann series, especially the series about Mikey Miller.
like
'STUDENT Won't Stop CHEATING, He Lives To Regret It | Dhar Mann'
and as they say there, "there're no shortcuts on the way to success"

However, on the other hand, in an effort to explain that kind of behavior, I would say that the modern edu system is not healthy/sane.
Lack of movement is one of the best killer of human health.
One can find more info in books and articles like

'Death by Sitting'
'Get Up!: Why Your Chair is Killing You and What You Can Do About It'
'Moving more and sitting less in schools: What’s the next step?'

Plus, it seems like the modern edu system is mostly making us slaves for the system at hand.

probably, modern students are not satisfied with the curriculum or edu environment,
so they sometimes don't really care about ethics and moral in schools and universities.
