Yeah, with most technologies all the most useful applications are, well, more boring by the time you get them than what people imagine beforehand.
I imagine some of the best augmentation tech is going to be about diagnostic data and about coaxing/training our bodies away from maladaptive states. Consider already-existing stuff like insulin pumps or anti-seizure implants. Extend that to dealing with obesity, panic attacks, allergies...
Absolutely agreed. What's the effectiveness difference between doing something your body already does well... better? Vs doing something biology is terrible at... well?
It's engineering. Get the low hanging fruit first.
