There could be some compelling reasons for one.

- Services like maids or cleaners are usually scheduled, maybe you have to wait and open the door etc. Maybe they can't make it that day because of snow storm etc.

- Services are normally limited to certain hours. With a remote operator, the robot could do laundry all night ran by someone in a different time zone.

- If needed could be operated in shifts.

- Other new use cases could arise, e.g. wellness check on elderly, help if fallen or locked out etc.
