>Boston Dynamics paved a way with research and prototypes and some company will come along and commoditize it.
BD had already started selling its robots(Spot, Pick) commercially and had even had projected a plan for profitability[1].
Current sale is not really an indicative of its inability to make money but rather desperate situation of Softbank VF after string of poor bets, this must have been hard as Masayoshi Son is a self-acknowledged robophile.
