I never said something like direct nerve interaction is terrible or nonexistent. My brother also does not like the idea of having something implanted, and would much rather have a mechanical device that he has a chance to repair himself should anything break. That’s not being ignorant to anything, just pragmatic.
What I did say is not to trust a money-making business to do it right and not leave you high and dry if they go belly-up.
ETA: also, under the USA healthcare system, something like you suggest is unaffordable for a good chunk of people and the VA only approved the mechanical device any way.
