Shadowrun is the exception because of the Awakening and all the fun escapist magic and spirituality flowing through the setting. Magic-less cyberpunkerinos are both uncomfortably close to contemporary society and contemporary society’s ruling class is in a sprint to enshittify the world with more and more layers of shit with a thin gaudy speckling of the aesthetic without anything subversively dangerous in the shitted out substance.
The “punk” is thoroughly stomped on. The corpos sell it like Che shirts. The genre used to be my very favorite and now it’s… this. 
I mean, so much is just aesthetic now
Superman used to beat up wife-beaters and crooked factory owners
Everything that criticizes Capitalism ends up being consumed by it
Recuperation
There’s a vague internal narrative, a fantasy adventure that so many bazingas daydream about, where they are running the grid against the yakuza
or whatever and have a hot cyberpunkerino waifu that has noncommittal sexy sex with them between flings with other hot cyberpunkerino side dishes but all in a way that’s just a boomer’s harem fantasies without any scary subversive elements like, you know, class struggle or trans people visibly existing.
The cyberpunkerinos are old now and so much of the groundwork is just aging Japanophobia with a paradoxical pathology that wants to bang hot cyborg waifus that may Japanese names and/or katanas.
