Why does bga allow players to look back at cards laid??? Surely that’s cheating

If it were hidden (which I doubt is even possible technically), how do you control that the others arent noting it down anyway?

It's public information. While BGA tries to make the game experience the same as playing in real-life, somethings it cannot be exactly the same.

At least it's the same for everyone that plays.

Old debate, you play online, nothing prevents players from taking notes manually.
Couldn't agree more with RicardoRix.

Old and boring debate, you can not prevent other players from taking notes, it is an online game, if you do not like this game change the game, but judging others is claiming to cheat is in bad taste. Have a nice day
