Augs are inferior to the human body. Maintenance, firmware and utterly static with zero adaptability...I'll keep my ever adapting and self-repairing flesh thanks.
I do wonder if things like pro-active joint replacement once you stop growing will be the norm in our lifetimes. I think the bio-compatible ceramics they're using for things like hip joints have lifespans in excess of human life expectancy. Get it over with when you're young and can quickly recover instead of when you're old and more likely to suffer complications.
It's going to be the thing many probably haven't considered while salivating over the idea of augmented parkour or other extreme sports.
Just because you now have limbs that can make inhuman leaps doesn't mean the rest of your body will survive the landing. Likewise the human brain evolved to it's current design as a result of what previous generations experienced and sudden gforces caused by augmented leaps and landings wasn't on that history list.

Yeah but think of the tiktok likes or whatever the fuck they use there!
Wonder how much damage a brain will sustain when it smashes against the inside of a full titanium replacement skull vs. a normal skull.
