Unless they're maintaining the software themselves, there's no such thing as perfectly loyal. In the past the revolutionaries needed to capture the armory, now they need to capture / subvert the servers / programmers.

Well we're obviously in the right place for that

Oh shit this just got a lot more cyberpunk lol. Now I'm picturing Boston Dynamics robots being hacked by anti-fascist black hats...

It's true... but with all things it's a matter of quantity of people you need to be loyal... IE one commander who agrees with the cause, vs 100 soldiers that could talk about it.

Plus, it's far easier to grow a concience on the field looking in the eyes of the children you are murdering, vs sitting in a computer or robot lab having no "need to know" what these robots do when they leave your office
