Even for domestic robots people don't care, see just about every cloud connected smart vacuum robot and the numerous data leaks
And for companies, most of them are fine using SaaS and cloud based hosting platforms, so why would it be any different for robotics?
Sure there is the latency argument, so at least something doing very short term decision making needs to run on device or at the edge, but for most task the end to end time is in the single didit seconds to minuites, so the extra 100ms or whatever that you get going out to some model in the cloud isn't a deal breaker.
