Yeah but the idea is that you can have a generalist robot that can do many different assembly line tasks.

There are plenty of manufacturing tasks that are still done by humans because it's too much hassle to make a dedicated robot to do it. Even on high volume car manufacturing it's very common to have human steps.

Sorting is just where they've got to so far; not the final destination.
