I'll need to watch it again, but in Edgerunners that bullshit time acceleration thing the main character got was a complete spine replacement, right? Bleeding edge tech reserved for special forces troops. And at that point the main character was relatively unaugmented, just a bootleg USB jack in the back of his head (that didn't even work). If he survived the procedure, he should have got cyber psychosis right away.
I believe in universe its a graft, not a replacement. Plus in universe cyber psychosis doesn't affect everyone the same way. Some people are more resistant than others, and Adam Smasher seems to be basically immune. Although that's probably because he was always a psychopath.
Heh I had a table top where the party encountered Adam Smasher, we didn't beat him but we survived him. He rolled a double critical failure when dodging one of our attacks and snapped off one of his own legs when trying to maneuver. We immediately ran after that because we set a bomb that was about to blow.
I know, but it might as well be how it's depicted. Remember, his limbs were still meat when he got it, every ligament and tendon should have tore like old rubber bands the first time he used it.

The Sandevistan is not time acceleration.

Oh yeah can't argue that or anything else in universe ain't bullshit. I watched that video recently and simply wanted to share the trivia. :D
