Not everyone can take care of a dog or wants to.
You even admit it ("inconveniences") yet immediately dismiss it.

Also I admit to inconveniences, but when did I dismiss it?
If I admit to inconveniences it means I am trying to present a view that covers both the downsides and the upsides.
I'll say one thing though. I'd rather have a human develop a friendship with a dog then develop a friendship with a robot toy. One relationship is healthy and humane the other is not...
