To the vast majority of players - what a few "win at all costs" players choose to do in a handful of "come as you are" open access stat driven dogfight servers, has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on their day to day enjoyment of this game.
I don't think that the online community, even the ones that prefer DF servers is a "a tiny (though heaven knows, a very vocal) minority". That is one of the myths that is fostered by those who have no problems with the mods. Most of the offline only fliers are not online.. meaning they aren't even here so we really don't know their numbers without figures from UBI... The guys who come here and prefer to fly offline are not the entire offline community... Not only that as someone earlier posted.. I think that because of technological improvements that there are more onliners than there were when that original statement was made by Oleg @ 4 or 5 years ago. Also... it is not just in DF servers... online flying is not just DF servers.. it is coops too... don't forget that... What makes you think that if someone were inclined to cheat that they would only do so on a DF server?

As for mods and cheating.. Not all those who use the mods are cheaters... that is also a fact.... but all those who are inclined to cheat will and do, not only here but in any kind of online competitive venue, use mods to do so if they are available.
