So uncheating could be seen as a sort of “Reincarnate” Feature, where you start at square one?

Pretty much. I don’t see how it wouldn’t give a huge advantage any other way. Yes, stripping the character makes it so that buying the cheats was pointless, but the cheats are very clearly labeled as excluding the character from the competitive aspects. It wouldn’t do any good to let a player use cheat purchases to buy all the equipment they want, buy visits or use the auction house to get all the .moar files they want and then go “Ok, ready to play in the end game.”
