All correct. But that does not mean arms and legs are not necessary.

Machinery, at the scale you mention, increased the requirements for arms and legs.
You still need Diesel mechanics to O&M that very expensive machinery that needs to be kept running as they do not make money idle.

Shirtless workers are so last century. Indeed true.

But the overall dressed technicians are needed. Moving parts are a bitch. And you know that.

Then the goods are ready to be packed and shipped. There is where arms and legs have to step in. Again.

I am not saying automation would not be even of a higher % than today.

What I am saying is that automation, per se, drives the need for the arms and legs.
