You are basically saying, that everyone, who win in online poker, is cheating. And that is plainly false. All in all there is probably just as much cheating in live poker, its just a different kind of cheating. The real reason, why live players often struggle online, is because, online players get to play many more hands, so they tend to learn the basics of the game much faster.

Online poker is also available with less geographic limitations, which mean, that you get to play with people from large parts of the world rather than just your local area. And importantly you get to play with people from low-mid income areas, who can actually make a living playing fairly low stakes. So you have full time professional players online at much lower stakes, than you do live. Unless its a geo-limited site, and even then you compete with players from an entire country or state rather than just your local city.

But of course there are also things, that are more difficult in live poker. You mention playing with deep stacks, and that is definitely more common live. You also have to manually keep track of the pot size and the effective stack size, and you need to avoid giving away live tells. But even so its a fact, that great online players usually do well in live poker after a short period of adjustment, while the opposite is often not the case.
