right, but not every place we’re going to use them is a factory. And it’s possible we’re going to use them in places we’d still like to be human-first because of their critical role, such as i.e. dams
That’s just not true, you’d have to completely rebuild your entire production facilities which would cost more in the long run than taking say… Boston Dynamics Atlas and hooking it up to an LLM trained on a specific task set.
Newer facilities could be built for the future where humans aren’t involved at all, but in the interim making robots that move and manipulate objects like we do is still the better solution.
It’s 1000x easier to redesign the factory around robots than building and operating humanoid robots.

That’s already the case. Just look at a car factory assembly line, they’re full of robots already but none of them look like humans.
Easier, maybe, but definitely not cheaper.
