    Same situation with cybernetic implants. The rich would have infinite eidetic memory and computation power built into their skull. The poor would be forced to have muscle implants if they wanted a job, or worse, much much worse.

      I mean, Cyberpunk 2077 does have construction workers being contractually obligated to receive strength-augmenting implants that are low quality and frequently malfunction and/or drive the wearer to homicidal insanity.

        Just think what a company could do with a full motor control interface to their workers. The worker themselves could be asleep or in a virtual world and not have to worry about all that pesky work.
