Punk rock was very simple but it still required a skillset; most punk rock fans probably hadn't invested the time and effort to be able to participate past supporting those that did.
Punk movements seem to have always suffered from this sort of unacknowledged lack of unified or organized abilities.
And their aversion to the mainstream and anarchic tendencies often leave them and their goals in absolute limbo.
Punk rock at least had the benefit of "if you can listen and agree, you're in" though. To be remotely included in cypher/cyberpunk practically requires an education of some kind, especially in the post-"mobile OS is all I need" world.
Technology stripped to just the essentials necessary to further the ethos seems pretty punk to me.
