I think the text is misrepresenting - he didn't specify humanoid in the quote. But running with it to try and speculate, hm, a humanoid bodyplan would be compatible with (the few) existing technologies and infrastructure - and as long as it isn't limited to following human functionality for the limbs (especially in space or underwater) then it's just a multiarmed drone that happens to fit in an acceleration couch or whatever. Not sure that's enough of a benefit unless you intend actual humans to follow after.
I guess it'd also be a good visual stunt to have a humanoid do stuff? At least for orbital and underwater stuff it could even be teleoperated in an immersive VR style - signal lag would make it a bit dreamlike, but having a humanoid automata build a sandcastle on the Moon or explore a habitat being printed by specialised drones would be extremely cool.
