There’s a mental illness that afflicts some people to have perfectly normal limbs amputated.

It’s called “Body integrity dysphoria”................

I don't think having limbs removed to get high-tech replacements/improvements is body integrity dysphoria though.

At least not if the goal of getting a high-tech replacement is a significant improvement and not the result of a discomfort with being able-bodied.

“...not that there’s anything wrong with that.”

Sounds like when a male wants to cut off his penis so he can pretend to be a female.
