You'd think that'd be pretty easy to make by now.

We kind of did, but they were fads that never took off fully?

As someone who had one of those early robots, they just are not realistic enough when it came to behavior.

There are. Real animals are still cheaper though if you want the full package of sentience and love; the uncanny valley of the cheaper variants of mass produced robots is off-putting for most consumers. Very few robots have a lasting 'cuddle factor' - at the end of the day, they remain 'just' robots.

SA
That is to say, both the physical aesthetics and the personality of mass produced robots is not yet up to the standard we expect of a 'pet'. There's an inherent fakeness that most people can't look past. At least not yet, who can say where we'll be in a decade or so in the field. But money will always be a factor when purchasing a 'pet' (household companion/family member) as opposed to a 'toy' (something that can be casually tossed in the trash when the owner grows bored, though I suppose it must be said that there are people out there that treat their live pets as disposable).

Because real pets are so much better? Nothing beats a real animal who loves you and will climb right up into your lap all warm and precious and let you pet their cheeks.

this!

I know a bunch of people who basically treat their robo vacuum as a pet. Given it a name, drop confetti on the floor for it to zoom up on its bday, etc.

This is about Lightyear isn't it?

I watched it yesterday and I sure was reminded of Furbies while watching it. Man. I wanted one so badly as a kid. Never got it :(

Simple, IMO. They don't really offer what people are looking for in a pet, i.e. the emotional and social connection.

We kinda do. At least, I had a robot dog when I was a kid, but a real dog’s better.

There's people in Japan still fixing their Aibo robot dogs even though it's long discontinued because they love it and don't want it to die. So some people definitely have robot pets. Some nursing homes for people with severe dementia also have fake animals (like a toy cat that purrs) because it helps the residents but they can't safely handle a real pet.
