The student is attending college to get a job. Most students don't care about the course.

Probably around 50% of students in my year were only in it for the well paying jobs a prestigious degree like that could give them.

This has to be part of the threat model for cheating.

It's pointless. Just an arms race of gimmicks. There's really no option besides making homework all optional, and putting 100% of the grade into in-person exams. I basically don't trust that any new graduate has earned their degree, and won't until schools do what's necessary to crush cheaters.
