Along what everyone else said, so it's more broadly marketable. In theory a humanoid robot could do any job a real human is doing now, meaning you don't need a high tech production line to go along with it. You don't need to automate your entire production line to get started.

Also, it's more of a commodity. A business could sell the robot once they don't need it and anyone else could just buy it to use for a different purpose. Not many will have a use for highly customised robots ment for a specific task.
