I think a lot of people would have an instinctual aversion to removing their natural limbs without some dire medical need. I certainly wouldn't do it.

If I could get similar performance gains by slipping on some kind of exoskeletal enhancements, I'd much rather do that.

That's also true. There's undoubtedly both communities. I didn't mean to imply that everyone, or even a majority would be willing to give up their natural limbs, just that there does exist a population that would gladly do so.
