A historically braindead take. The super wealthy have never lacked eager servants. Except now they'll need technicians and programmers to troubleshoot their troops instead of blacksmiths and quartermasters.
You're trading room and board and clothing for belts, gears, hydraulics and o-rings. And arguably a human military would still be necessary as a fallback in the event of the proliferation of EMP.
But in addition to eager servants they've also had stubborn people who resist. Machines are easier to look after and less likely to rebel. And they're quickly reducing the need for technicians and programmers.
Stubborn people against the rulers can build drones too.
