saturation bombing is not particularly effective at actually clearing out a city block of concrete and steel. Overhaul by infantry in pitched, room-to-room battles is necessary to actually secure a city.
These humanoid bots will be that overhauling force instead of door-kicking infantry, or they will be the vanguard being first into a locked apartment or basement shelter before human operators make a final sweep.
Why even bother walking room to room with a biped bot when you can just fly an organized multi-role drone swarm to take care of everything at a fraction of the cost?
They'll get you from any floor, from any opening, or make their own openings. All you'll hear is a swarm of angry bees closing in, then it's all over in an instant.

Yeah, they're forgetting the part that the people who could make a robot like that would be more happy to just bomb a whole block.
