I don't think it's particularly surprising that humans are better at things than robots, sometimes even purpose-built robots. The question is if robots are good enough that the difference doesn't really matter.

It's throwing shit in a box. Who cares how neat it is? As long as things arrive sealed and intact, it's fine.

There was a great quote about robots in agriculture:

"When it comes to olive picking, the best a robot can do is get 60% of the olives.

Humans can do about ~80%.

Robots are so much cheaper than humans that it makes sense to use the robot even with the 60/80 performance split."
