Derp: game mechanics can be weird if you think about them, and designs are more stylish than practical. That being said I hope we can be a bit more clever than just giving reasons to not take things 'too seriously'. Excuses are less interesting than guesses. So let's have fun.
So his half brother willingly helped him build a secret robot army?
The securitron was one of many models of a make of robot that we don't see anywhere else, possibly despite being made in 2060? (Save for Big MT where they were being deconstructed and unsuccessfully retroengineered as opposed to actually being used.)
Securitrons can't use missiles or even grenades without the platinum chip upgrade, despite having all the requisite hardware, even though House already had a robot that could use rockets and/or missiles (Sentry bot)?
They're designed for law enforcement, and if need be warfare, yet clearly couldn't fit through a double doorway, let alone take stairs?
It weighs far more than a person (inertia), yet sways about as much as an intermediate unicycler on relatively even ground, with a thick tire tread and what I can only assume is a gyroscopic balancing system? Apparently being able to fire accurately while moving didn't seem like an advantage to the world's leading roboticist, and maker of warbots.
House never thought to try and update his operating system or drivers, or make new one's in lieu of the platinum chip? I mean, managing his securitrons doesn't seem like it'd take up all his time, and his analysis is already completed (as evidenced by the fact that Yes Man has the same opinions before you progress along the House questline to hear it from the horse's mouth). Seems like it would be less trouble than organizing a search for a poker chip sized device, that may be destroyed, whose specific location is apparently unknown (otherwise why was it so ludicrously expensive?) and possibly hundreds of kilometers away.
Yes Man can invisibly monitor House's network remotely and even take over other securitron's when they are destroyed/at will...yet House never notices? Or even bothers to kick the spy of his network when told about it?
I'd add how quickly he discovers the bug, that you can place in the Lucky 38, which was made by the same person who already knows how to hack into said network undetected, but it seems fairly obvious that he's watching you while you're inside the casino. Though apparently all it takes is one stealthy person willing to crouch to outwit his cameras/robots, and he never thought to set up encryption--which we see elsewhere (though that might have only been in Fo3 with computers owned by Chinese spies, whose were kind enough to stick to English and not use coded language for some reason).
