That's like saying people who use Storm's Path back in the day before it drastically changed to rack up exp/and spirit bond were cheating.
That isn't the issue Doho, in the most simple terms Garuda doesn't phase switched correctly because they incorrectly programmed her AI to recognise her current hp %. The result is you can take her down to about 60% HP and then BLM Burn her down in about 45 seconds - 1 minutes before she has time to cast Astral Flow. Something which they hadn't intended to be possible. However whether this is "Cheating" or not is a separate matter because SE has already stated that it was a programming oversight and won't be punishing people who adapt to it.
