That is not arbitrary at all.

It doesn’t mean “8 billion robots”, it means a robot for each person.

This implies that every human has a physically capable ally.

I feel like this could be taken two ways. One is that robots become so cheap and prevalent that everyone gets one. The other is that they're so good at doing different things that one per person is enough. You won't need one to vacuum your floor, one to mow your lawn, one to cook you food, and one to drive you around.
