Honestly they just say things. If you spend 30 seconds thinking about it it's pretty obvious that no one's going to get a brain implant. It's a brain implant, it's not something you casually decide on a whim.

Also who's doing it, the world isn't exactly a wash with neurosurgeons let alone who would just eager to risk a potential lawsuit carrying out unnecessary brain surgery. Unless the plan is to get robots to do that, but surely we would need the robots before we start talking about the brain chips.
