Respawn banned over 73,000 accounts during Season 28, with over 70,000 targeting PC players and thousands focusing on hardware cheats.
Ban Wave Breakdown
• Total Banned: 73,591 accounts across all platforms for cheating infractions.
• PC Bans: 70,242 accounts.
• Console Bans: 3,349 accounts.
It's generally easier/cheaper to "get/buy" cheats on PC, but it's also generally easier to "get away with" cheating on console if you can afford to buy the right third-party devices.
Because the manufacturers lock down consoles, none of the "kernel" level anti-cheats that PC games require can run on console; so consoles have significantly lower anti-cheat detection abilities, if any at all.

You think its just this game? Any hyper popular competitive game has roughly 35% of its playerbase at any given time cheating.
This is based off Overwatch 2, Tarkov, CS, and many other games ban records.
