yup, I'm sure that's what all the paralyzed people who might regain the ability to move are thinking
That's how they all sell it at first. A humanitarian deed. But to become a commercially viable technology they'll need sustained revenue at some point.
This is being developed in China as opposed to whatever capitalist hellscape you live in.
I'm not sure what makes you think China would be any different
Look at the prices of solar panels, batteries, electric cars, and other things coming out of China. Prices remain low and it drives prices down around the world
Mostly, China's long history of being different because of its socialist system which functions on different principles from cappitalism.
that holds true under capitalism for sure. for socialism the benefits to society weigh in against profits and change the equation a bit
for instance, things like medications in China do not reach unaffordable levels like they do in the US because the social good they provide is very high, so the profit margins are extremely low. USians end up paying 5x the price for the same drugs because in the US everything is driven by profit and ONLY profit
