Imagine neurolink dropping support for your device and now you have eWaste in your brain, just like the company, which made Eyes for disabled people and then went bankrupt leaving customers with eWaste in their eye holes
I don't know what components exist on the neuralink boards, but i do know that capacitors are pretty common and tend to leak after a couple decades...
There are many different types of capacitors, most of which don't contain any liquid at all (including the most common type - ceramic capacitors).
But in general, you would use specially rated components and materials if you need them to last decades - not the cheapest most basic parts you can find.
Other types of implanted devices have dealt with the same things decades ago.
