The "synching" mechanism in 2.3 that try to make competing universe look more similar to each other render the desynch lot more bearable than in 3.1 where parallel universe simply diverge more and more...
desynch in 3.1 [...] is worse.

That is misleading? What do you mean? Do you mean you just did an out-of-context quote?

No, it just avoids getting a desynch in the first place, so that it doesn't need to correct anything.

huh? when we see that 2+2=5 button show, doesn't that mean it went out of sync but now everything is back to normal?
otherwise it would always be out of sync would it not?

I thought it was said you can't cheat on 3.1 but now you said it doesn't correct anything so the cheater will always have more power or units or whatever else they changed.
why not add self correcting game states?

The "2+2=5" icon just means that the CRC of the game state of the players next to the icon doesn't match yours, which means they are in a different universe than you. If you don't see "2+2=5" (and the game isn't frozen either), the game is in synch.

The cheating fails specifically because there's no way to correct the game state, so the cheater can't "correct" everyone else's game state. So the cheater's extra power or units or whatever stay on the cheater's machine, without affecting anyone else. Which is about as effective as if the cheater glues a "You win!" sign to their own monitor.

as long as they are in the game doing cheats it will spam desync errors right ?
