These bots are for the very rich, yes - to profit from those who will eventually need them to survive (disabled, elderly, those with three minimum wage jobs, …).
If I had three minimum wage jobs in a future where that can rent a robot, then I’d have it carry me around. You’d see an android with a sleeping elder slung over its shoulder, politely maneuvering around the subway.
