"Cheating" is only a thing in school.

People looking at your portfolio won't even know how it's made (unless there's a bug). Even then, I don't imagine employers would like to hire someone more interested in showing off than making a good and maintainable website.

This is true, I guess it's more tied to a feeling of an imposter than anything. The need to feel authentic in your skills. Maintainable and clean code is really the essence of programming so that makes sense!
