You might. You don't want to get into a situation where Neuralink says that they're not doing BCI like the ones installed in your head any more, and have it shut down spontaneously when the company turns off support.

It's happened before to people with artificial eyes, and they're both left blind because the hardware doesn't work any more, and they can't afford to have it removed (if that's even safely doable).
