I’d buy one if it would help fight off ice agents.

What is the endgame here? People are supposed to buy these? To do what?

Pretty sure ICE can afford to but thousands/millions of these while we have Alexa speakers.

The lower-class will either go chronically online or go get educated and get a non-replaceable job

Chores and other stuff we don’t/can’t do. This has been the dream for decades now, so many decade+ old encyclopedias with “future tech” chapters show robots caring for people, sometimes as caregivers (for old people, or blind etc), sometimes as entertainers.

Wealth inequality isn’t going away anytime soon, but that doesn’t mean you can condemn the entire field of humanoid robots as useless/unreachable for the 99%. There’s probably going to be a point when a suzuki swift (geo metro for americans) equivalent of a robot will come along.

That’s exactly what it means. Even a geo metro is a garbage machine destroying the planet that’s completely unaffordable for most of humanity.
