Also, it's not always about cheating. Sometimes people just want to roleplay a certain scenario or whatever and these commands help them to establish the specific conditions they want.
cheats have been considered commands u press that developers put into the game to break rules at least since the 90s where i was young and most probably they have been around even earlier.
famous examples:
"poweroverwhelming" in starcraft,
"up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, select, start" in contra(probotector (konami cheat codes)
holding "L + R", selecting the last character, then go one further to unlock olaf in rock'n roll racing,
make circles couunterclockwise during intro to unlock hidden characters in mace the dark age...
and many many more.
because more and more people started to use their computer for gaming, and this kind of cheats stopped being popular after the millenium among developers, cheaters were forced to code programs to break rules. just because that became popular, it isn't the "only true way" of cheating, but a kind of evolution of what was called "action replay" for snes f.e.
A cheat - is most often a program you download to enchance the gameplay, therefore bringing 3rd party elements into the game..
