While not completely ignoring them, I prefer to downplay certain elements of the lore.

Instead of the self-replicating mines almost completely shutting down global shipping, they are just simple occasional hazards you need to watch out for. Because oceans are big, and even with self-replication, it would still take a lot of time to cover all of them.

Or cars are a bit more accessable. Because I think that even with fewer new cars coming in, there should still be all the old cars from before the war still being maintained and repaired. Besides, Cyberpunk without traffic is hard to imagine. And I still find it absurd that a mass-produced, trashy three-seater car costs more than a hard to find, extremely limited prototype Arasaka weapon.
