Because, sometimes, battery power is overrated

It's been 200 years since artisan hand-loom weavers in England began smashing and burning the factory machinery that was rendering their jobs obsolete, but some things haven't changed: robots keep making more of the things people used to make, and Luddites--or at least a 21st century version of them--live on.
