Some Microsoft Professional certifications passed

Both last year and this year I took (and passed) a Microsoft exam (I suppose the equivalent of CPD - Continuing Professional Development).  

Last year it was Programming in C# (certification: here), and this year it was Microsoft Certified: Azure Developer Associate (certification: here).

These exams were online, but unlike the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries' online exams (which are un-proctored with allegations of significant cheating going on by a minority of students), these Microsoft exams are proctored using Pearson Vue.

I really don't understand why the IFoA has not done something similar: it is unfair to the majority of conscientious students (and to everyone who has already taken and passed the exam without cheating) to allow a significant minority to cheat.
