Death and Limitations of Cyber Punk

I'm recalling my horror in watching Blade Runner 2049, realizing half the scenes, characters and even accents were taken from the movie Rain Man (Tom Cruise, Dennis Hoffman). People don't believe me at first, but I challenge you to watch Rain Man and then the remake, Blade Runner 2049 back to back in that order. It will make you sick.

Once that is established, it seems tempting any type of movie could be sneakily remade into a Cyberpunk. Driving Mrs. Daisy. The Caine Mutiny. It's A Wonderful Life. At what point does the audience loose identity of genre and see a romantic comedy with cyborgs as just a romantic comedy and not scifi? How can you mess it up? Is it limitless potential, or are there things you can write that just won't stick to cyberpunk fiction? That the audience rejects? They didn't reject Rain Man.

It's gotta be something beyond tech and world building.
