I get that, but this thing in particular does not have a neck. It has a metal stand that's shaped to look like a neck, but it is a static, fixed piece of metal, it doesn't rotate, tilt, nod or anything of the sort. It's a stylistic element that's not relevant to its functionality. Atlas is a wildly overbuilt thing that's simply not relevant to majority of human tasks. Doing parkour is very impressive, but nobody needs to do backflips to clean the kitchen. The average human has far far fewer capabilities than an idealized 99.99th percentile human. The real world is accommodating of people with various disabilities and limitations, you do not need to be an olympic athlete to live a productive life.
