We need progress, which is harder to do because it takes a paradigm shift on an Individual and social level.

Sometimes it just takes a marginal improvement to the quality of the engineering. But these "what if manual labor but fascade of robots!" gimmicks aren't improvements in engineering. They're an effort to cut corners on quality in pursuit of a higher profit margin.

Even setting aside you believe these aren't just a line up of mechanical turks controlled from a sweetshop in the Philippines, their work product isn't anything approaching good. Its just cheap.
