To add to this list, YouTube does an excellent job on its core competency — streaming high quality video without hickups and buffering. I've tried other video streaming services before, and none of them have the reliability as youtube.

I agree. Starship, at the moment, is a novelty — at least for now in our lifetime. But yes, humanoid robots will have the most profound impact in our lives. I see general purpose robots as a platform. Once they know how to traverse through
