When you go to your item management you can see that you can own multiple copies of the same quick hacks, including differing rarities. This is nice because you can sell your excess copies.
However when you go to equip quick hacks you are only presented with the highest rarity one of each you own. That is, if you own the legendary copy of a quick hack, you can't equip the lower tier ones even if you own them all.
This would be fine if the higher tier ones were strictly better, but they actually aren't always depending on your build and what you wanna do.
For one, as they increase in rarity they also increase in RAM cost. You may way to equip one that costs less RAM for some reason. Maybe you want to cast the cheap one a lot rather than the expensive one fewer times.
Also, some higher tier ones have properties you may or may not want. Like the spread effect for example.
You can equip lower tier cyberware body parts if you own multiple of different rarities so I see no reason you shouldn't be able to with quick hacks if for some reason you wanted to.
