He's had me out once. The freedom only lasts as long as the physical contact and he's more use to us without having to hold my hand 24/7.
[ Tony can't get him out permanently, and without a way out of the city there's little hope of him escaping the simulation altogether. He can't ask the others outside of the city to mobilise to get him out for the sake of his avoiding discomfort.
"Discomfort" undermines the reality, but it's just not feasible. The risk is too high and the benefit too localised. ]
