In D&D’s Eberron, the city of Sharn is a cyberpunk-esque arcology with literally mile-high towers, where magic-slinging megacorporations have a stranglehold over industry, and the poor live in squalor in the lightless lower levels

Eberrron is definitely not cyberpunk. First of all, it’s a fantasy setting with absolutely zero advanced technology. Second, those “megacorprations” are the Dragonmarked Houses, which are more like noble families. I know that Eberron was inspired by pulp and noir fiction, so cyberpunk may have been an influence, but it itself is far from cyberpunk.
