I don't understand owning a computer that you don't fully control but using prosthetics that can be remotely disabled? This is why we need true open source GPL brain implants.
I'm daily driving Linux. And, frankly, for my eye implant, I'll probably buy from apple.
I mean, no, I will buy something else, jailbreak foss it, will have to patch it while being blind from an update, and proudly tell everyone no friggin government will be able to backdoor my eye. But oh boy I'll wish I bought one from apple, cuz those guys never go blind from updates.
Or when you do go blind the ceo will just say you are holding your iEye in the wrong spot.
