One of the key themes of cyberpunk is dystopia. They got that part right.

Yes but 90s vision of dystopia is better than 2020s reality in some ways. For example all those tech gadgets and implants actually work without any subscription, cloud connection etc. any kind of spying and malware usage is actually done by criminals or special agents on specific targets.

Not even true, you have to pay to breath clean air in the height of the day. In my games, if your netrunner isn't up to snuff you are paying monthly to activate your wrist gun implant. Its a critique of today not of the future, add all that shit in and fuckinf wreck your players, its the cyberpunk way.
