Correct. They make games that are dozens of hours long and filled with repetitive content, and if you skip the content you don’t want to do, you tend to be under leveled for the stuff you do want to do, and they’ll sell you boosters to hit that level instead.
So they make boring games on purpose, and charge you (extra!) money to activate the fun in the game. That’s fucking insanity. Boycott that model, right now.

They sell level boosters that you could otherwise circumvent with Cheat Engine.

Oh ffs 🤦♂️ If I bought the game and want to cheat myself out of the experience, just let me do so…!
If I’m understanding you correctly, level boosters are things you can activate to… skip levels? Reach character levels quicker?

Yeah they let you skip the artificially inflated grind in your single player experience.
Buying them is not cheating yourself out of the experience, but instead it brings back the intended speed of progression.
