The consequences are certainly worse, it's the motive that people dislike. It takes half a second to cut someone off. Cheating takes effort and preparation especially if you don't want to be caught.

I liken it to someone cheating in one of those gigantic 100-level college courses. Does it hurt me? No, assuming a curve isn't being used, but it is still unethical, and it would still make me furious that someone was getting the same credit that I was without putting in the same amount of work.
