robots have existed for more than 20 years though. Boston Dynamic's dog is 22 years old, Atlas 15-ish

Mostly just the cost, yeah. It will be like buying a car. The economics will have to make sense for regular people, while it starts popping up in tons of places and become a status symbol.
We have had more than 10 years of robotic vacuums and yet they are still a fairly niche product.
