What does a humanoid cost per hour compared to a worker?

My math: about $3 per productive hour for a humanoid on a robots-as-a-service model against roughly $26 an hour for a human worker. Once the machine is cheaper per hour, demand outstrips supply for years and fleets scale from thousands into tens of millions. That crossover is the 2040 decade.
