Not to mention that general purpose robotics seem like they will always be more expensive to buy, run and maintain than a human is. Perhaps bountiful renewable energy will change that.

A reliable and effective general purpose robot will always be more expensive than a less reliable, less effective human being. Why would you sell something better than the average human willing to take the role, for less than that human wants?

I’m obviously factoring productivity into this equation. The less effective human will likely always be more cost effective.
