Its a funny episode. But its a false dichotomy.
Robots with sapience are granted rights and don’t make refrigerators or vacuum cleaners capable of abstract thinking and feelings. I’m looking at you Samsung. Washing machines and microwave ovens do no need to be “smart”
Because most of the time, the reveal immediately results in a magical resolution of decades of behavioral issues stemming from the trauma.
Which never happens in real life. A reveal is a huge step in the healing process but it doesn’t mean the issue goes away. Maybe we cope better, maybe we regress maybe we relapse. But its seldom the clean outcome in the movies.
