"it shouldn't say that" is not the same thing as "it doesn't agree with the other rules". if you have any actual examples of other rules that it disagrees with, feel free to state them. the only vague reference you've made to other rules is the implanted commlink, which says absolutely nothing whatsoever regarding how it interacts with cyberware grades.
i already said several times that i don't think it's supposed to work like that. i've also made it perfectly clear that right now, it says that you can get your cyberdeck (and, for that matter, commlink) at a discount if you get a used one.
I think it's fine to allow Used Cyberdecks as an implant. A device rating 1 cyberdeck would be incredibly easy to jam (it's 1 step below Basic Cyberware). Remember, you can't cherry pick when your rules apply to you and when they don't; you have to keep it consistent. I'd happly let players purchase that discounted deck and make it nigh useless in the process. What's that, you payed to have the best cyberdeck money can buy implanted as Standard Cyberware? So, disabled by Noise rating 2. Done, and DONE!!
Edit:
Alternative interpretations:
As Cyberdecks would count as security devices, along the spectrum of Corporate (Rating 3) thru Black Ops (Rating 5), you can divvy up the decks into categories of the 3 different grades by pricing (first 1/2 are DevR 3, The following 1/3 at DevR 4, and the remainder are DevR 5). Accordingly, you'd need an equivalent grade of ware to implant them as (Alphaware for DevR 3, Betaware for DevR 4, Deltaware for DevR 5). This, of course, excludes cyberdecks as being implanted as Standard or Used Grade Ware, or even as parts thereof.
The only OTHER possible interpretation, while following a consistent ruling for this, would be to treat the Implant side of it as the cyberware, and the Deck side as a Deck, which is your main counterpoint.
Otherwise, you're just poking your funstick into the rules at odd places.
