I think by making the implants' impact relatively small, the developers are keeping the playing field at least somewhat level between those with and those without (for whatever reason, be they new players, resources focused elsewhere, or - most especially - part of a faction way down in territory), which encourages playing the game as opposed to grinding the game.
