True but then coursework is far more akin to actual work as well. For those that don't cheat it's a chance to craft a real bit of work, a researched and well-argued essay, a practical computer program, a work of art (they are keeping coursework for art) and so on. My essays for history were far better when I had the ability to type them out, research and use citations. I tend to get a bit messy when writing essays as my brain jumps between several points and a computer allows me to restructure it in a way a two-hour time limit with a written page doesn't.
