If you cheat, you aren't playing the same game as your opponent, so it's completely irrelevant whether you win or not.
Don't store tournaments have prizes to win? Especially if there's an entrance fee? A chance to get something moderately expensive makes for great incentive to cheat.
Even my group puts up 10€ per participant towards prizes for our big summer tournament, and we too might see some questionable behavior at times. Will be less now with 6th allowing measuring at all times (one guy used to draw his measuring tape out much further than needed for moving in order to get a quick look at possible shooting/assault targets at the same time). OTOH, he'd do that prizes or no - he just can't see anything but victory as "fun".
I would feel obligated to tell my opponents all my pertinent special codex rules.. However the BRB rules should be known by everyone as best as possible.
Army list cheating is different though.. that is blatant.
I suppose that is why giving each other a list is good practice.
I know the last few games we have played people forget things or forgotten something that could have changed an outcome. I only play in a garage gaming group though so its more about playing then winning with power lists.
