You say that like it's a bad thing.

I would think most people would want an AI that can do things for them, not one that is going to complain or have a bad day or get distracted or countless other problems that could come from an artificial human.

exactly, why would an AI with agency be good for anybody?
Something that can appear to have agency when required for the task would be far more preferable.

Human-likeness would also include thinking similar to a human and understanding things, but also being able to act like a human within certain boundaries. Companion AIs will be like that, while not having some superior skill in every field and certainly not using a huge server cluster at home.
