I don’t like it really either. Not sure it’s cheating but it does feel wrong...I would suggest though that if IRL, a manager in these modern times had 10-12 HOF (and many LH) pitchers they might just do the same thing when facing a HOF LH lineup.
I am sure none of us saw the opener strategy as viable before it showed up.
Is it actually effective? I am guessing because it is used the user(s) believes it effective. I can’t say it beats me regularly or not nor have I seen any data (so to speak). The last few weeks there have been 3 teams employing it without much to show for it.
