"only"? You just pointed out that they result in 300% increased worker productivity and that's "only"??? Especially when this discussion is based around someone saying they won't use technological productivity enhancers because they want to go the "bespoke" route.

How much support staff for that hardware + how large an investment + how large are ongoing costs like electricity + how much risk if that hardware fails vs offsetting 30$/hour/worker. So yes “only” as it’s a win but not nearly as large as a win than it seems like.
PS: “300% increased worker productivity” a 300% increased productivity for pickers would be 4x as many packages picked not 3x. But, again actual productivity didn’t increase that much because some people need to maintain these systems and most of them expect more than 15$/hour.
What’s eye opening is the kiva robots only increase the items picked per worker per hour from ~100 to ~300 even though they drastically reduce the amount of walking.
