I agree with you for the short term. Advancing robot tech in general is better served by aiming to be the best X for a limited set of X. A truly generic robot is probably several steps away and I think the correct niche for starting to approach that market appliance would be a human-scale (and moving) tele-operated human-shaped robot body. That would be useful for all of the places that humans are expected to navigate and particularly useful for situations involving danger.
