But robots don't burn bread. Their ongoing input costs are only a tiny fraction of a human's, that's why people buy robots even though their up front cost is usually much higher than hiring a person.

The point is that the robot replaces the worker only on the business level - but in the economy the worker is still there! And in today's world either often gets no job or a worse job.
