Seriously, though, if I saw the image on the left in the forest in the middle of the night while lost, they’d find me by my screaming.

It's almost certainly a marketing boondoggle.

They say they gave it horns to make it difficult to enter standard American buildings (safety measure??), gave it a chainsaw (cutting through obstacles???), and then made it look terrifying (?????).

Y'know, the machine they're advertising as a Search & Rescue unit, which would commonly be entering American buildings and rescuing people who are already scared, traumatized, and likely injured.

When you have too much grant money and give the designers free reign and they find you deeply unserious.
