It's viewed as cheating because it is cheating lmfao. I know because I used it to cheat. You can almost always find solutions to the exact homework you're trying to do.
Absolutely correct! I was mostly trying word it so that it was less "annoying rule follower pontificates the virtues of morality" and more "it doesn't matter how you justify it, or what you think you're doing, the university will see it as cheating and will act accordingly", plus people tend to be more receptive to advice when they don't feel like they're being attacked.
On the anecdotal side, my college job was doing desk-side IT support for one of the deans offices at my University. One of our roles was recording Academic Integrity Policy Hearings (basically a so you got caught meeting, where everyone has a chance to tell their side of the story to a panel of faculty members and they'll decide the punishment, usually ranging from zeroing out the assignment to expulsion) as a CYA for the university in the event someone decided to break out the lawyers. I saw so, so, many students hauled into over Cheg related offenses.
Hell, one of my best friends got burned because another student helped them with some Themo homework and was using Chegg (unbeknownst to my friend).
