It's a bit less about that, and a bit more about the fact that real robots cost a lot, require incredible investment upfront, and the results are very physical, it's very hard to dupe idiots into believing you achieved something great when you wasted all the money.

in a society that values the worker an invention that relieves work would be lauded.
capitalist society doesn't value the worker, it values the product.
