I definitely think feelings of power and dominance factor into the #HumanoidRobots craze, especially amongst the type of people who tend to be billionaires.
However, playing devil's advocate, our houses and all the other spaces we create are designed with the human form in mind, and a robot that is shaped and moves like a human requires no changes to those spaces to operate within them, so they are definitely not the worst idea in many (entirely hypothetical) cases.
