I wouldn't like to comment on the cheating aspect, I only repeated what a non interested 3rd parties point of view was. Their next comment was:

'Doesn't it damage the karts?' Nuff said perhaps

My own point of view in karting has never been: 'If you can't beat them, join them'. If so, in France, by now, I would be tuning engines and sand blasting out the evidence, treating tyres and adding chemicals to the fuel. You either cheat or you lose, or you quit. We quit, along with many many others, it's a slippery slope.

Plainly jumping over the curbs, while not outside the letter of the rules is clearly outside the spirit. But the ethics of it aside, regardless of the poor image it presents to the outside world, it forces people to make a choice between damaging their karts or not be competitive, this sort of choice can only be bad for the sport, as many will simply pack up and leave once they wear out their first chassis.
