Yes helicopters aren't flying cars.

But if a machine automates 90% of a process, like a dishwasher, why shouldn't it be considered like a robot, say a 90% robot?

Practically it does have the same effect.

A dishwasher is to a robot what a calculator is to a computer.

By that token, how well can a Boston Dynamics dogbot clean your dishes?

Which means that a robot is something that has a property similar to the property of 'turing completeness' in computers.

Do you think of a washing machine or a dryer as a robot too?

I think of them as machines that automated a certain task. So a robot substitute.
