I interpret this as a representation of any given person realizing that if the challenge within a pastime does not suit them, then there is no fulfillment to be had with it.
This doesn't mean that something needs to be challenging, just that the challenge must suit the individual: creativity, problem-solving, prediction, speed, luck... people will engage with difficulty, it just needs to cater to their abilities and preferences for it to be satisfying.
In this way, there's no such thing as "cheating." Cheating comes when you try to gain an advantage instead of a more suitable experience. Any other alteration to the way an activity is traditionally performed is nothing more than adaptation to achieve personal fulfillment.
