Because the flesh is weak.

Also, having built in power storage, UPS, etc is extremely convenient, not to mention the benefits of having an internal toolset, flashlight, nightvision, etc. For example, with the bionic flashlight, you don’t need to continuously replace batteries or carry around a UPS. Ditto for night vision, and you also don’t have to worry about your NVGs getting damaged, head/eye encumbrance (higher accuracy), etc. Internal batteries and bionic UPS helps you save storage volume and weight for carrying more loot and equipment/ammo, which is especially helpful when using power armor.

Yeah…there are days when i miss not having to sew together 6 legged pants. Then i remember that i make zero sound when i move. Even if i move a bit slower. Thats why i took speed based traits too.
