Because all the resistance and "you have agency in the dystopia" stuff is the escapist part of cyberpunk as a genre.

no dense urban dwellings either, that's also an escapist part because the US has actual dystopian infrastructure (sprawl designed to force you to use a car). Even here in Seattle everything feels to sparse. Too wide of roads, too many roads, nothing is actually "dense" in any way, and the businesses are always in a different spot than most of the housing (whereas other cities might have housing with more interspersed businesses).
