Not anywhere near to the level he would have with direct nerve interaction. Just because you all don’t understand this or the need doesn’t mean others are as ignorant. Or willing to settle for lessor functionality.
I never said something like direct nerve interaction is terrible or nonexistent. My brother also does not like the idea of having something implanted, and would much rather have a mechanical device that he has a chance to repair himself should anything break. That’s not being ignorant to anything, just pragmatic.
What I did say is not to trust a money-making business to do it right and not leave you high and dry if they go belly-up.
ETA: also, under the USA healthcare system, something like you suggest is unaffordable for a good chunk of people and the VA only approved the mechanical device any way.
You essentially said it’s pointless or unneeded because your relative can get along fine without it. That’s bias and completely ignores others not like your anecdote. No one was talking about cost only functionality. You gonna move the goal posts again.
