Because in war humans already move themselves out of those decisions. Landmines and huge minefields. This is death with no human involvement. If a commander draws a box on a map and says deny the ability of the enemy to cross this box on our flank, does he care particularly whether it's mines (that are a pain to deal with after things quiet down) or if it's killer autonomous drones? Plant security? Border patrol? Think of a rich guy with a private island. Security is wildly expensive, but they are paranoid (check out the security some of the Russian oligarchs run - it's pretty much a mini mercenary force). Would they deploy some automated AI that kills anyone unauthorized (after some warnings?) My guess is yes.
