So they can easily do tasks better than a human or that a human could not possibly do. Like moving heavy furniture unaided.
If you consider the mentality of fascist dictators, the concept of an ever obedient non thinking workforce/army is very appealing. That’s why.
Could it end badly even for them? Sure, but heck, if they don’t make the human race ending robots, someone else will.

I have an AR-15 and armor piercing green-tips. Weird enough, I only have the green tips because they were the cheapest option at the time. At 100’ they drill press a perfect hole in 1/4" steel.
