Plus the demand is higher for software than it is for hardware most of the time. Pretty hard to find jobs in robotics compared to all the various kinds of software.
Hardware can be quite expensive and time-consuming, instead of just writing code (free) and running a command to deploy (quick) you have to get hold of good motors (expensive) and design and manufacture parts (slow)
I often wondered this myself, but I realized the answer is just there’s not actually that much cooler stuff.
The jobs exist, but they’re few and far between and often have heft credential requirements and tend to be focused in Asia (China, Taiwan, India).
There's the mech/EE equivalent of crud, too.

You could do non-CRUD software instead.

You do not have to convince me! I already love it!
Same. I do have an excuse due to lack of space in my apartment, but once we move...
If you have any spare time…
