I wouldn’t worry.
There were plenty of people who would be considered disabled in the trailer - the man in the mobility scooter in the scene with the punks parked on the no parking curb (and then at least one person in the foreground with a missing limb) and then in the basketball scene with the shooter having two metal legs and the woman to the left having metal arms.
What I find more interesting is how these augments will be perceived by others in the world. Obviously if you can’t pay you’ll have to go without, but are there certain levels of limb replacements for example?
If you claw and scrape, maybe you can get a bare-bones replacement, but more realistic, true-to-flesh prosthetics cost way more, and maybe people treat you better or worse depending on which you have.
What about people who go minimalistic on the cybernetic augmentations? How are they viewed by the rest of society? Are they considered strange, behind the times? Depending on how connected the city is, it might not be possible to interact with the city systems without some basic auguments. But maybe going without could also be a way to try and stay off the grid.
I could also see some people fetishising those who go without auguments, just as much as others might have a thing for those that go for a full-transformation package at a local ripper.
