Yes, but if the task is multi purpose, humanoid form makes it possible for it to fit where humans fit and use human tools etc..

Yeah but the article says the only thing these ones are gonna do is deliver parts which is probably overkill for the likely expense for the kind of sophistication necessary to imitate even a fraction of a human worker’s versatility. To say nothing about the difficulty involved in adapting them to various tasks without reprogramming or training.
