> But GP seemed to be saying they find it terrifying even assuming no adverse effects, which I found curious.

It being in my brain is an adverse effect. Inert material in the brain is a problem itself.

Do you want inert rocks in your car engine? Taking up space, interfering with natural processes, etc?

The brain is incredibly complex; far, far, far beyond our current understanding. You don't want anything in there that isn't supposed to be, and plastic isn't fucking supposed to be there.

And, did you miss the part where this is up 50% from only 8 years ago?

... Tbh I'm aghast that anyone needs this explained to them.
