I know a lot of people that make the choice to exaggerate their resumes, but they also understand that they are hurting all of their peers who are being honest. This is the reason why YOE requirements keep increasing and entry level jobs say "4 years of experience required". They are getting candidates from bootcamps who exaggerate their experience, e.g. "worked for 1 year at OSLabs" - with letters of reference - who largely don't pass interviews. The engineering hiring managers get upset at the recruiters for letting these people through who aren't qualified and the recruiters raise the YOE requirement on the job postings. Seen this with many companies, exact same pattern, and some of them just don't interview bootcamp grads anymore as a result.
It's a cycle that screws everyone else over but it's happening because plenty of people have "loosey goosey morals".
