From what I remember, they were more expensive than your standard droids and super battle droids. Better programming, advanced AI, swiftness and dexterity of a humanoid but with the endurance of a super, these fuckers had it all.

Economy of scale and economy of war. Ramming the square peg of "hordes of chumps" into every round hole they came across was probably the most cost effective means of waging war they had, and cost effective means combat effective on more fronts

Their weak point was the head apparently one shot and their done

Yeah but its Star Wars I liked that fact that both Republic and CIS Commandos used Vibro blades though. Expect droids have a fucking full sword.

CIS WAS CONTROLLED OPPOSITION.

And at the point of the Clone Wars the Robot Rebellion had already happened (the Robot Rebellion takes place towards the tail end of the Great War between the returned Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic). That's part of the reason why technology takes a step back from where it hits in TOR, the war got so big with so many planet destroying weapons that massive chunks of technology were lost along with the species that created them, and the Robot Rebellion pushed back droid technology considerably due to a mixture of destruction and distrust. So, yeah, keeping the droids simple and controllable may have been important to galactic civilization at that point.
