Because 5 limbs with a dozen joints flailing in a house is a lot different than all of the scenarios you gave.
A car has three inputs: gas, brake, steering. A fire can start only from a flammable source and in the case of electric cars, I still personally don’t prefer them.
Anything can be dangerous in an extreme. But imagining a humanoid robot in the room with a kid? No matter how you spin that, no thanks.
In the end it’s all about using dangerous tools responsibly. I don’t think a robot used responsibly is any more dangerous than a car being used responsibly. I don’t see a reason to dismiss robots entirely just because of some rare occurance in a development environment.
