The analogy makes a lot of sense to me. Once you have an "easy button", it's hard to not use it. It's sort of like when you're at work and see the "quick workaround" effectively become the standard process.

I remember burning out on games because the cheats made them really fun in the short term, but afterward playing normally felt like agony.

Fun is subjective. Cheese is coded, cheese is allowed to be fun.

I guess I just enjoy the difficulty of the boss fights in those games, so cheesing them feels like I'm robbing myself.

You are not the one that is frustrated at the Nth try though. Your way of enjoying the game is as valid as any.

My personal integrity wouldnt allow that.
It would have to be very frustrating for me to resort that.

Things I'd cheese for example in pokemon: Event locked pokemon.
