"Let's use the disabled as guinea pigs!" Is not as uplifting as you think.
To my knowledge these people are volunteers. Nobody is forcing them into it. If they're paralyzed from neck down but can now control computer using their mind I'd imagine they're probably quite happy about it don't you think?
Right, they're not forced into it, they're just desperate and a snake oil salesmen has come around promising them a miracle he has no evidence for.
People already play games on Twitch using their mind with an EEG, no invasive surgery required. Someone has beaten Elden Ring doing so. https://www.google.com/url?q=https://videogames.si.com/features/elden-ring-streamer-mind-control&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjw3Pvp2Y-FAxXOOjQIHUeVD-IQFnoECAoQAg&usg=AOvVaw07DJpbSRFefyBNtQoLpSSF
