I don't get it though. They're only cheating themselves when they do this. It's not like they're sneaking a fast one past their body, and maybe their stomach won't notice those calories if they type it in wrong into MFP. Thats not how it works. Thats not how any of this works.

What is their reasoning? So they can show it to other people and pretend they're doing good? So they can complain they're not losing weight? If you have to lie about the facts to prove a point, doesn't that say something about your point? Or is it just so they can look at that number of total daily calories and pretend they're doing good?

This is exactly the reason I don't duck out early when I'm working out at the gym, or drop the weights before I finish that last rep, or skip that last set. Yes its hard, but if I give up and just do the easy thing, I'm only cheating myself.

So they can feel good about themselves in the moment. Same reason they eat. Instant gratification.
