I guess it's designed to fit in environments designed for humans like homes and offices.

Probably there is a bit of "too ambitious, and romantic" going on too.

I see their reasoning as something like that they have a lot of batteries motors processors and AI software lying around from doing cars. It would be kinda fun for a few engineers to try to put those bits in humanoid robot form. Who knows maybe it'll work, maybe it'll help the stock price. There isn't that much cost as they had most of the resources already.
