plus with prosthetics carrying the weight is no small ask, my understanding is that a lot of people go back to more simple prosthetics after giving the advanced ones a try (unless that's changed?)
No, that's still more common than not. The powered limbs take a lot of concentration to utilize to their full capabilities and they typically require you to lug around a heavy battery that doesn't last very long.
You would be surprised how much dexterity someone has with the old style cable and harness upper limb prosthetics with just the traditional hooked terminal end.
