I guess you could argue that in order to get correct/useful haptic feedback the full-dive interface has access to your nerves? And the interface is as counter-hackable as anything else in this world?

Thinking in-universe here, where this sort of system exists, wearing an equivalent of a full-dive-condom which prevents the feedback you speak of, would maybe make an operator too slow in responding to countermeasures or make the whole process the mental equivalent of walking through treacle. A skilled operator is more effective without it, despite the higher risk?

All of the above is pretty moot though in the real world, computers can and always will operate at a million times the speed of a person, I can't really see the value proposition of being "in" the computer, when all you'd ever really be doing is deploying icebreakers out ahead of you and waiting for the response
