It’s been several centuries and yet the brain is still a big mystery for the humanity. I don’t think 2 decades would be enough. I’m not saying that I’m against cool technologies, but such a progress is hard to imagine being done so “soon”.
Technological progress can follow an exponential curve. It doesn’t have to. Which is why we’re still using the same basic pacemakers that were invented in the 1950s. Nothing better has been invented for people who have the sort of heart conditions that require pacemakers.
I’m massively optimistic about the rate of tech development, I think we’ll have some really world changing things in twenty years but I really cant see brain implanted AR being a thing for a long time
Ah, no need to be so pessimistic. I’d give it another decade or two.

Technological progress follows an exponential curve, why would this be any different?

Yeah, you’re right, it’s more of an S-curve for any particular technology. But I doubt we’ve seen the climax of brain-machine-interfaces.
I hope not for the sake of paralyzed people and the like, but I wouldn’t trust an Elon Musk company to be the one to do it.
Just feels unimaginable. But it’s interesting to see what the future will bring us.

It won’t stop people from trying all sort of shit even if we don’t know how the human brain works.
