Another magic number is 333 fps and there are others. 125 is pretty close to optimal, though, and most people could achieve it, so it became standard.
At 125 FPS, the rounding errors at each frame (done to conserve bandwidth during multiplayer games) add up in a way that lets you jump higher and accelerate faster.
This is a very unfortunate bug, but it is not really cheating, because EVERY frame rate has different physics. You always have advantage over some players and disadvantage over others. At 125Hz, everyone has the same physics, and it is the "best" one.
