Very few is key here. The robots have to come from somewhere so those people win. A lot of those types of robots are bespoke for the location and even if they also have tariffs on getting them it's an upfront cost and will be only paid once so there is a huge difference between a single purchase, and sourcing product or material for your own manufacturing or sale

Robots will need maintenence so theres some jobs production jobs converted to maintenence, and that will be better for those specific jobs, but not to everyone else
