They've existed for awhile for people with certain disabilities and further advancements in the field would be great for the people who actually need them, but outside of that niche most people would likely not want to risk a highly invasive surgery and I don't think they actually care about them.

It's also a massive risk when even the advanced ones have a high rejection rate of around 44% that's never talked about, and don't have nearly as much fine control as the media makes them out to be on top of being uncomfortably heavy for some people. While some do like them, a lot wind up preferring simpler ones or none at all.

I'll at least give people with Teslas the benefit of doubt, but if I see you with a Cybertruck I'm going to judge you.

I've seen a few that have admitted regret. Unfortunately not enough of them.

I bet a lot of people peddling homeopathy just think it's herbs and water, and don't know the initial theories behind it like "the law of similars" (thinking something can be treated by a substance that causes similar symptoms) and miasma (outdated idea on how diseases spread), or the fact that it's often so diluted to the point where whatever was originally there is essentially gone.

At least some natural/traditional remedies are legit, but still see an actual fucking doctor over anything serious.
