Always important to remember that a lot of these robots are “faking” the humanlike motions – its a property of how they’re trained not an inherent property of the hardware. They’re actually capable of way weirder stuff and way faster motions.

Yeah this is my thought about it too. As someone that also knows nothing and anything, I don’t think the human body or the way we move is particularly efficient. So having robots that look and move like humans seems purely like a vanity thing.
i’d only argue that the customer service bit isn’t really just vanity since I feel like it’s perfectly valid to expect people to feel wary towards something that looks like a biblically accurate angel speaking to them, versus something like an andoid like Data (although making Data look human was probably a vanity thing since Starfleet was filled with aliens and he coulda looked more different without shocking anyone)
