Wasn’t the point that the actual robots produced by the corp that made him were unwanted and mistrusted by the public, so they took an almost dead cop and rebuilt him as a human looking robot to popularize the tech?
They didn’t invest in him they just bought a corpse for marketing purposes and made it a robot with a face.
You just made me realize that the real life equivalent of the Robocop Films would actually have the bad guys plans work way better because manipulating the public into wildly unethical decisions through disingenuous tech hype is super effective.
We had a president whose administration acted like the the most unbelievable supervillain criminal gangs comic books could come up with. So it's not surprise a good movie couldn't compete with reality.
