Yes a lot of individuals would have implants, but true cybornetic implants are only if the individual would die without it. Biotic implants, omni tools etc can be shut off or damaged without resulting in the death of the user. The quarians do indeed have cybernetic implants, in which case they should have been slowly dying due to having a critical component of their biology disabled.
