Because if the last twenty years have taught us anything, it's that "tech leaders" are not looking out for the public's best interest and are more than willing to lie about the potential benefits and harm of their products.
They all got ultra wealthy on a very narrow field of expertise, and now that makes them think they are geniuses. These people barely understand their own fields anymore, and everything they say about cognitive science is extremely worrying.
The most advanced brain chips they've made are nothing but a more invasive version of computer brain interfaces that have been around for over 30 years. Them talking about "having an answer pop in your brain" is just science fiction.
