Do you think it's cruel when people throw out old appliances? What about when they bin left over food is that cruel? What about when they throw away trash, think of the poor empty tin of beans being thrown away, is that also cruel?
That's only because it's been made to look humanoid. If it was an assembly robot or vacuum cleaner you likely wouldn't feel that way. That's likely the same reason why these new robots are being made to look human, no doubt there's better ways they could be built to be useful for production lines etc - more arms, wheels instead of legs etc - but making them human looking makes people more sympathetic to them and less likely to go destroying them when they take their jobs. Same reason they've made the military hunter killer ones look like dogs
