Great, so we can cross off brazen public corpo-assassinations on the cyberpunk hellscape bingo card, eh?

Is it good or bad that we don’t have the cyborg stuff?

The Cyborg stuff is cool, but unfortunately we have subscription models, anti-repairability DRM, unblockable ads, and "we'll fix it with the DLC" software model, and for-profit health care well established before those become a reality

You can then literally charge people an arm and a leg
