While its fun to explore ideas, this post commits the intellectual sin of simple extrapolation-ism when everything is just oh so much more complicated than that. As others are pointing out here in the threads, biological interventions for physical strength are inevitable.
This stands to reason once you mentally discard exercise as a pre-requisite of strength. An elephant is strong, not because it exercises, but because of the biological mechanisms e.g. genetics that says: grow big, grow strong, and the effect size of those mechanisms are much much larger than individual differences due to exercise. It is clear, at least to me, that the need for exercise for adjusting strength has more to do with not spending extra energy building a body that has high upkeep if it isn't needed for survival.
