Humanoid robots are great at operating in existing environments that were built for humans. Like, your house or an office or our streets.

Purpose built robots are almost always better at specific tasks, but if you want to drop in a robot in an existing environment or have it interact with existing products and equipment, humanoid is the way to go.

Amazon for example has TONS of purpose built robots that are not humanoid, but their entire warehouse system was designed from the ground up for them.
