This is not an "upgrade". A replacement is a concession, a patch, a crutch, a mere instrument. It doesn't matter if the crutch can crack open Brazil nuts or turn your TV on or allow you to fetch the keys that fell behind the fridge. Metaphysically, it is always an inferior, if sophisticated, instrument. Ridding yourself of perfectly good limbs to replace them with an instrument is not only a "downgrade", but gravely and grotesquely immoral.
You can blame the incoherent travesty that is mechanistic metaphysics for the strange notion it is otherwise.
- altruios 3y agowhoa... hold on there... I replace my 2080ti with a 4080ti... is that's not an upgrade: that's instead categorically always a 'patch' to you? metaphysically - a replacement says nothing to the quality of replacement. Silly to think any change on anything is always for the worse... A replacement can also be an upgrade. those are not mutually exclusive labels.
