I don't share your view that it is cheating to use a database such as Sharkscope or Poker Tracker. If all players in the game did not have equal access to such a service then that would be unfair but as long as everyone is able to use it if they wish then I have no problem with it.
But whether people interpret the information in a useful way and are able to profit from it is another matter. I routinely use a Heads Up Display (HUD) for cash games but it is up to me to make profitable conclusions from the data displayed. I do not consider myself to be cheating when I use it, just utilising a tool that is available to everyone.
