Closest WZ has been to cheat proof over its 10 years was with Cowboy's DGO server long gone now. Anti-cheat server side for WZ these days is a ways off I think and if anything this could be an impetus. Best bet till then is to ostracize obvious cheaters. This reminds me some of Prohibition (US 1919-1933). Legit uses for this trainer (& they are valid) I think tip the scales over cheater uses, all things considered, IMHO.
As of now, there aren't really very many ways to cheat. I mean, it's possible, if you learn how to change the source code, etc, but it's not particularly easy. This cheat engine is the only one I know of - Warzone isn't exactly at the height of its popularity right now. Obviously, nothing is going to stop a determined cheater, but for a game like this, there are few, if any. There are plenty of people who would, however, if given something like this, which would make it easy to cheat - hence the need to censor it.
I also can't think of very many legitimate uses of such a cheat engine. Testers can use cheat codes, which are documented quite well on
the Cheats wiki page, and have the advantage of being disabled for multiplayer, and announcing "THIS USER IS CHEATING" to all players whenever a cheat is activated.
