Maybe someone has been killed by having one fall on him. That's how the first (and probably not last) Death by Robot occured.

The malfunction he was called to repair may have prevented the arm from going to the "park for service" position. Charley…

Or the scientists were so desperate for funding that they made up some completely unplausible possibilities for "practical" use.
