None of the Gangs, Mercs and Psychos use a legal Ripperdoc.Even though everyone has implants they should have had fearmongering ads playing constantly about how Cyberpsychos are everywhere and you could never tell who is who had what because of all the hidden sleek implants it'd be good satire on the hypocrisy of society and the media (like how drug addicts are demonized even though everyone is on hard drugs due to pharmaceutical industries)
Sole reason Edgerunners ended the way it did is because David went to a Ripperdoc that chips in illegal cyberware.Incidentally the government (and corporations) are not going to wait for you to go over the edge. It is quite common for governments or corporations (often the de-facto government) to track people who are known to install lots of cyberware. This is another reason ripperdocs exist; not everyone wants to be on a government watch list for cyberpsychosis.
If he were to go a corporate backed Ripper like Vik in the Tower ending, Zetatech would've known about what Sandevistan David chipped in and would've tried to recruit him like Arasaka tried to do.
It's less about how monstrous someone looks but rather what cyberware they have which could be their trump card in a fight.
For ex. Mantis blade knee or Songbird having blackwall access.
