Thank you for putting what I have always thought into a clear paragraph! Back when I was working on a consumer robotics system that issue (what can we expect a random consumer to do to their home/yard to simplify the robot's job) was a constant tension with marketing. Because obviously they want a product that a customer just drops into their yard and does everything including weeding and picking up dog poop with no setup. However, if we can help the robot by modifying the environment a little, it makes a huge improvement to reliability and cost. I would love to work on robots again, it is a fun problem to try and work out!
