That is because they are talking about themselves. How the hell are you going to tell them "No, the CI was a mistake for you, despite what you say!"
What if I said something like, "I didn't want a CI before, but now that I've had it, I wish I was implanted at a very young age. I would have adjusted to it much faster with much more use. I've seen other people who were implanted young adjusting to it WAY better than I ever could have. That's why I'd implant my child if s/he was deaf."
Admit it, that would not go well.
Edit: Even if I taught the child ASL, which I plan to do.
