Of course it's not. As a person who was born without a leg - the bone in my stump is so small, it would literally crack if i put my full weight on it. And I'm pretty sure this option is not comfortable for all amputees.
@@apriljones1013 Osseointegration is also really expensive, so some would rather be fine with a prosthetic and an apartment, than be homeless and be able to feel grass.

Osseointegration is the only way, anything else is just glorified stilts.
