I agree with what you say and I would add that humans benefit from embodiment. AIs can't experiment like us; we discovered sciences by investigating our complex environment, they have MuJoCo and ATARI. We're also a whole society, AIs are usually individuals in isolation. We benefit from evolution, not just from learning while AIs don't have dicks. It takes a whole branch of industry to make the chips they run on.

That doesn't mean AIs can't have robotic bodies or access complex simulations, they could also have a society or be integrated in ours, and evolutionary techniques could be part of that process. For example AlphaGo got a good enough environment and evolutionary selection of agents, and it topped human abilities very fast. It's only a matter of time until they can have all our advantages.
