It's called a fret wrap. Fret wraps are used by recording artists to help eliminate overtones and kill vibrations when they're not needed. As far as I understand, people who use the tapping technique like to use these because the tapping could get washed out by overtones and the like.
I understand and respect your opinion, but I think that the use of a tool that can give an easier route to greater artistry isn't a crutch or cheating. Personally, I would be much more inclined to use the word cheating if the artist were faking the performance in some way, but as far as we know they're not.
