Just so. Cyberpunk faded away as a sub-genre of SF fairly rapidly, once writers found that there were a limited number of story structures that would work. People becoming much more familiar with computers in the late 1980s and early 1990s didn't help much either: nobody wants brain implants that crash regularly, and become obsolete in three years.
