Don’t take that too! It’s all the robots have left me with.

Why does it have to be humanoid? Why not shaped in optimal baggage handling efficiency?

Presumably because all the other stuff (trollies, height of conveyor belt, ...) is shaped and sized to accommodate the humans who have been doing this work thus far.
