A big part of this is that the existing technology ISN'T a magic fix. It has side effects, it works differently than traditional hearing does and this requires long periods of adjustment and learning to bear with it. Literally being able to magic your hearing back to what it naturally should be doesn't have those significant downsides.
It doesn't matter, there are still plenty of people who enjoy their deafness in and if itself and don't see it as something to fix.
I need to see some accounts of this, the reasoning behind this. Because it is unfathomable.

Yes? That's why I asked for accounts so I could try to understand?
Try engaging with people without looking for "gotchas".
