Why does it need to be humanoid shaped? A vat would do it, no?
Sounds like they have not got that part working either. They have nothing.
Start with nothing, claim something, get funding, deliver nothing.

We need a word parallel to 'ethical' and 'legal' which is about how creepy something is.

Dystopian?

Nah dystopian implies unethical in addition to unsettling. Actually I like unsettling here. And yeah humanoid robots for incubating humans is deeply unsettling

Is it? It seems like a step in the right direction to me

Like, very pro incubator robots, but making them humanoid is unsettling
And it's important to note, unsettling is a comfort judgement, not a value judgement. Things can be good but unsettling and things can be comfortable and evil

It would be funny if there is an artificial womb startup that purposely formulates its hormones to produce LGBTQ babies.
