Not being a jerk, genuinely asking. Are people just really good in pubg or are there a lot of cheaters?

So I haven't played pubg in quite a long time, since the popularity of the beta days. My friends and I have been dipping our toes back into it again, and we've been getting dicked down pretty easily by others. Are these people really just that good at pubg cause it's all they play? Or are we actually running into a lot of cheaters? I always see threads and posts about cheaters but I never know if it's actually that bad or if it's just people complaining.

I guess just looking for some insight on the state of the game, thanks.
