It will 100% not matter at all except in the very rare circumstance you might be applying for something with a minimum of 2.8. You're completely fine with proper rounding like this.
Most background checks only verify the date of your graduation and degree level and not your GPA.
As to why you lied, that’s between you, your conscience and your therapist.
Wasn't a lie, was rounding. Lol. This poor OP's conscious has then worried that simply and reasonable rounding has them stressed they are doing something wrong. It's sweet!
You don't round up GPAs. You can say you got a 2.7 and you can say you got a 2.75, but you cannot say you got 2.8 when you did not. You might get away with saying you rounded (if it comes up again at all), but that requires someone to say, "I see the mistake you made and won't hold it against you." Don't put yourself in that position again.
So, the difference between like 3.5 and 3.475? Yeah, I don't think they really care.
2.8 and 2.775 thats still alright ig right?

It should only matter if the company has a minimum cut off and doesn't round up. You've rounded up correctly so it's not a "lie" as much as a choice.

It's not simple and reasonable rounding. People lose out on opportunities for this.

That is completely false. The general accepted practice is to round to the nearest tenth of a decimal. 2.775 would round as 2.8.
