We're immortal. We get new bodies on a regular basis (well, those of us who tend to get exploded) So why would we ever need (or ever get) cybernetic arms?
I can see perhaps, if they were to give some form of advantage over a normal arm.
Scars I can see, as we collect scars throughout our lives and they may be reminders for some folks. A complete arm seems a bit harsh.
I'm not sure a lot of folks would consider keeping a false replacement arm as a memento, if they had the option for a brand spanking (pun intended) new arm.
But then, I suppose, I could always sell my free one.
They're handy for opening bottles? They have a lighter built in? You like the way they look?
It's not like you're going to have to live through the implantation and recovery stage.

I'd blame tax. Both VAT/sales tax, and corporation taxes.

Sales tax in Iceland is much higher though so, it probably about evens out. Germany (random country in the Eurozone) is in between on both.
It's being sold by a corporation in the US, and by, probably, a different corporation (tax wise) in Germany.
So they'll be paying taxes in the respective countries.
The sales tax in the US isn't included on the $150 (I hate that about the US), and you're expected to pay it to your state (fat chance most of the time) when buying from the internet, across state lines.
