I'm of a like mind with FT-8 QSOs. I've broken down and make them because of a friendly club competition, and I put them on LoTW, but I don't count them for DXCC credit.  (No argument with those that think otherwise, this is just my personal position)

There is no way an organization such as the ARRL can prevent cheating in the DXCC program. It has to depend on the honesty of the hams involved. Yes..some
people will cheat but I can't see how they can derive any satisfaction from
that.

Last year I worked VU2GSM on Top Band. I heard rumors that Kanti used remote
receiving locations and, when asked, he freely admitted it. He's in my log
but I didn't claim credit for that contact.

YMMV!
