This is certainly a bigger Disadvantage than anything that threatens you with a civil judgment or a fine or even imprisonment. Having the enforcement of the Duty being Extremely Hazardous instead of just the Duty itself looks like a distinction without a difference to me.

Extremely Hazardous Duty means that doing the Duty is likely to get you killed. Involuntary Duty means that not doing the Duty will have drastic consequences.

Lots of cyberpunk R&D workers may have brain-bomb enforced Duties that are utterly safe to discharge.

You're still ignoring differences between legally enforceable Duties with much less severe consequences and this (probably illegally but very practically enforceable)Duty with its' fatal consequences.

I don't think that's reasonable. There's an Extreme Hazard there but you seem to me to be saying it's some place where it doesn't count.

That's what the Involuntary modifier covers. Fines or jail if you don't do it is an ordinary Duty - it's the more severe consequences (in this case your head explodes) that qualify you for that extra -5 points.
