Do you actually believe everyone in the entire field of economics believes people are robots? Or is it just convenient for you to hold that belief since it allows you dismiss an entire field of human endeavor in one sentence?

This is not perculiar to economics, but rather a general practice of scientific programmes in the Lakatosian sense. But few fields cause such harm with and are so politically motivated to protect their core assumptions.
