I would like to chip in. I do believe that this comes from the idea of our consciousness being "pure" and separated from our bodies. This means that, our consciousness grants our bodies some sort of "ritualness" and pureness...

Do you walk everyday thinking that you are walking everyday by sending signals to your muscles, which contracts via tendons to move your bones? Like, imagine yourself as a container made of skin, and your muscles getting signals/blood, and then contracting and moving your legs? No, you don't, because we see our bodies as a projection of our consciousness.

So, unless we try really hard to achieve this mentality, we will always resort to external agents. This is just my opinion, I know that there are of course tons of more relevant or explicit drawbacks to achieve a biopunk society.
