What stops people in power from purging entire populations? Like happened in Georgia, only this time in their own country, and instead of ethnicity, based on the metric of wealth?

I rather think this video supports my point. This is the best we can do and it's so far from a replicant that it's not even funny. Most importantly it's not improving quickly, there's no Moore's law for this. The Hall of Presidents opened in 1971 and I don't think this video demonstrates very much progress for 50 years.

Right now there isn't really a big incentive to develop these things, that might change quickly once humanoid robots become commodities
Sci-fi gets a few things about androids wrong.
#1, they will not be physically indistinguishable from humans. It won't be feasible to build something like that for the foreseeable future.
#2, they will not be uncreative and clueless about emotions and feelings. They will (optionally) exhibit creativity, and they will understand human emotion and humor and be able to participate.
#3, they will not go crazy and revolt and take over the world for themselves. Neither will an evil corporation use them to implement a sci-fi dystopia. The actual danger is that governments, intelligence agencies, law enforcement, and militaries will control them. This will grant unprecedented absolute unchecked power to a small number of people, ultimately resulting in atrocities.
