Meh, how is surgery a thing? You let people just open you up and dig around your insides?
it's a mix of need and belief in a proper vetting process. For computers there's the additional layer that any one machine is probably low stakes. In early internet days most software was prohibitively expensive but gave you the equivalent of super powers - as a teenager / young adult with ability to take that risk you're not going to do it?
Well, I prefer to go the hospital with licensed personnel and not to ask some guy on the internet to perform surgery..
And where those are illegal or prohibitively expensive you have people either traveling to less regulated countries or even straight up illegal operations.
Eg., black market transplants.
