I mean if you count prosthetic limbs we basically live in a cyberpunk world

Prosthetics are not inherently cyberpunk. The element that is typical to cyberpunk genre is people having these replacing body parts that don’t have anything wrong with them, solely to enhance themselves, and often a societal bias towards it, like not hiring people for labour jobs unless they have specific enhancements so they can work as efficiently as other enhanced people (and still barely earning enough to survive).
And aesthetics of course (and not saying the enhancements wouldn’t also creep into white collar jobs too. Type faster, have eyes that can spot errors faster, or easier, HuD for “increased productivity” aka more micro-managing, and emails right to your eyes, etc).
