Okay but if it hits a full apartment building, 100% of that bomb goes to killing unaware civilians.

Which is the whole reason cluster munitions are bad.

Any weapon fired at a civilian is a war crime. It doesn't matter what kind of munition was used. The problem with cluster bombs is that the shooting party, cannot control the result. Signatories of IHL have a responsibility to minimize damage to civilian people and assets. The same reason autonomous weapons are a huge ethical problem.
