one reason why people get automatic litter robots is to try to eliminate the odor. it may not even be for them but someone they live with because there are people who absolutely think that living with cats is unhygienic because of a litter box, and it’s much cheaper to splurge on a robotic litter box over finding a new place to live.

tbh a lot of them don’t work very well at that either imo but i think it’s dumb to just chalk it up to pure laziness and indicating that people deserve to have their pets crushed to death due to that.
