Not just that, imagine having to have invasive brain surgery every few years when it’s time to upgrade, or malware that you literally can’t escape from. Or even just the usual software bugs would be a lot more annoying if it’s physically plugged into your brain
I think the ideal solution will be to have some sort of universal interface and then keep most of the tech on pluggable devices. Though even that will likely mean upgrades to the interface eventually.
The sad thing is that this type of technology could be a huge boon for people with physical disabilities and even provide some amazing capabilities to non-disabled individuals. But, the advantages will almost certainly be fucked up by greed.
What about some sort of optical interface? Then we could have all the smart tech in another device and transmit the information wirelessly!
Jokes aside I agree with the disability side of things, however I still think those would be better as standalone implants that don’t need internet connectivity etc

No… they drop the adds when you’re awake. They harvest your dreams to source new scripts for reality TV
I'll bet the stupidly expensive surgery could be subsidized if we just let them do some light advertising. Maybe just when our eyes are closed so it doesn't interfere when we need to see.
Like in our dreams?
You opened that email? And your brain chip was synced to your device??
