Giving them the MFD is no different than giving them an info terminal.
You originally proposed, "just give the player their cyber interface". I'm proposing that you do this on Earth during training, since they are already given an excuse, with original voice assets, that they can use a virtual cyber interface at that time. This way you don't have to explain why they have a cyber interface before their surgery.
so long as you're in training
Are you suggesting that players be made to retain their virtual cyber interface, that is explicitly stated to be simulated, not real, after they exit the training cyberspace and return to the real world?
Even though it's a common complaint about the character building sequence, Irrational clearly liked the idea of people choosing careers primarily based on what sounded cool or interesting (both the mission briefing and the skill names), so I'd leave their intention intact rather than introduce a user interface feature that's unlikely to see much use while also cutting against the basic story elements.

But if that's true why is there a problem in the first place? If the "virtual" interface already given to the player on Earth is already indistinguishable from a real one, then why can't they open it up and read their MFD?
