> machines offer the killer combination of durability and repairability

You’d be hard pressed to find a machine with an average lifespan equal to a humans.

Doesn't matter, they can be readily repaired and even upgraded.

Humans on the other hand were very clearly _not_ designed to be very repairable. They have a self healing system that's very good, but it sucks compared to a system that can be externally repaired.
