It depends. Many cyberpunk worlds actually are TL10 or even TL11. The problem is that the high surveillance and high paranoia of the setting means that it is probably a matter of when rather than if a megacorporation will capture a conveyor.

For example, imagine a cyberpunk world like the setting in Shadowrun in Q4. You have TL11 technology, incredibly advanced and powerful magic, and a number of megacorporations that would love to steal conveyor technology. If a AAA corporation gets ahold of a conveyor, Infinity will find itself wishing that it for the good days when Centrum was its only major competition.
