…The fact that people need this pointed out to them is concerning.

It seems obvious because there are no obvious upsides to it. One of the scenarios in sci-fic is, the people with enhancements out-compete non-enhanced people, making it hard not to get one if you can afford it. You, of course, can never trust the likes of Musk and Zuck to put such things in your head, but would you have any viable/attractive choices when such a scenario pans out? Easy life vs. hard but free life.

An analogous example nowadays is, would you take steroids to compete as a pro athlete if you can get away with it, even with all its downsides?

It really is. It seems so straight forward and obvious.
