One important distinction that you omit is the robot gardener costs exactly the same as other people doing the work manually. If I had to choose between two options that cost the same, but one is ultra fast and has consistently high quality, it's a no-brainer for me.

Why would the robot cost the same? If it costs the same, then there is no incentive to introduce robots in the first place. I think the wide-spread automation is a testament to the much lower price of robots compared to human labour, no?

I mean the guy using robot gardener takes the same pay for the services, not the robot, sorry for confusion.
