Honestly I don't see it as an "obvious" thing.

I won't be surprised if in a couple more years this kind if thing is the norm. I don't think there's anything inherently different from a person that listens to you.

It wasn't obvious for a long time, but the closest we have to a relevant experiment* shows that physical contact is also necessary for parenting, especially soft contact: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Harlow

Humanoid robots are improving, so I won't say "never", but I will say "not yet". Not in isolation at least.

* and likely the closest we ever will, because it was disturbing enough to a big influence on animal welfare movement

I'm at a loss for words. If you really think there's no difference between a human and a machine, I don't know what to tell you.
