I disagree. See below.

Only because that is currently the only way it's lost.
However, if any runner has "Built in" cyberware, they would suffer the
essence loss.
You can think of "Built in" as the cyberware getting added to the runner
before the player had the chance to. Either way, the cyberware was added
to the runner (by whatever source) and as such, suffers the essence loss.

Except that Ravage doesn't *say* that she has Wired Reflexes "Built in".
She just does the same thing that Wired Reflexes does so one can
*imply* that she has WR. Because one can only *imply*, she wouldn't
have the -3 essence reduction as if she had it "Built in".
Who knows? Maybe she is just really wicked fast?
