    the main benefits from prosthetics are usually due to properties that the prosthetic have that a normal limb wouldn’t have (or vice versa) - like specialized prosthetic limbs for rock climbing

    still, I would expect most people would be able to use a tool in lieu of a prosthetic … still, the absence of a limb might be advantageous in some situations (even if obviously a downside in others).
