More surface area = Longer cybermuscles.

The square cube law is the reason it adds a flat bonus and doesn't modify ST by a multiple of the user's ST. It might not be perfect, but as we don't know all the factors involved, this being a representation of imaginary technology, it is certainly better to select the simple method over a complex method when we have equal confidence in the accuracy of their results.

Longer muscles are more powerful but not stronger. Strength is proportional to cross-sectional area.
