Very poor priorities and a double standard in a way.
Don't think I disagree with the point you're making, just not sure I agree with said example. Isn't the point, or at least part of it, of the robots to avoid more people ending up in said chairs, or not making it?

It's very true though that investment/effort/advancements/etc. (whatever you want to call it) follows the money.
