I’d say the most plausible way this occurs is if something close to human-like hands is necessary for a lot of robotics value, then it’s plausible that the shape of general/special purpose robots will be constrained enough to force it to be humanoid.
Don’t expect this to be true, because while I believe the premise is likely true, the implication probably doesn’t hold, and I expect non-humanoid shapes to be used during an industrial explosion much more than humanoid shapes.
