  1. it's a brain surgery 2. it's in a more space constraint place, scare tissue can force you to place "later" implants at different places, but as there is not much space there might not be alternative paces. 3. pacemaker are a "relative" simple well understood implant, you _could_ build pretty dump/"un-hackable" ones 4. theoretically what can be used to relive depression can also be used to manipulate you, like activate it less then possible normally except if you are in a shopping mall.. (well setting aside that wireless communication with a implant while possible isn't always simple). A pacemaker can "only" kill you, which always leavs the question why it didn't work even if there is no prove that it did kill you. Also modern pacemakers are scary, too. I mean seriously you can assassinate people by hacking their pacemaker without touching them...
