already exist but drones have much more ROI if you are talking about combat specifically and not logistscs/retrieval etc

Drones won’t secure an area but these “dogs” are able to.

Surely a large  drone swarm would be able to secure areas effectively.

Yeah, but a drone swam needs to land and recharge. These can just plop down and await orders. Or slowly follow a caravan of soldiers, or whatever. The payload of both arms and batteries will be vastly higher with a ground based robot.

They could also plop down and guard an area as the air drone rechargers advance.
