Deus Ex director Warren Spector thinks that 'if someone made Deus Ex today it might be perceived as a documentary,' so if he made a new one it would be pretty different (www.pcgamer.com)

I wonder if people realize that cyberpunk is meant to be a dystopian satire, and not just a cool aesthetic

No, they don't... For years now most people have considered cyberpunk to be just "rainy cityscape with neons".

But it's not that surprising, since a lot of us already do live in a cyberpunk world, except for some of the advanced technologies usually appearing in the genre.
