AGI doesn’t need to be “solved” for humanoid robots to be valuable at scale. The role of teleoperation is often underestimated; in the near term, many humanoids will likely be operated remotely by people halfway across the world, performing deliveries and other tasks cheaply.

Is that supposed to be something we want?

Maybe not you, but the millions of people at risk of being run over by a forklift or buried in a ditch probably find the idea appealing.

Honestly, it sounds like it would be really funny to me.

How does that increase efficiency (beyond not having to pay normal wages)

There are plenty of jobs where 24/7 operation would be beneficial. Like a road paving crew, or a nighttime security guard. You can pay daytime wages for someone in another timezone.
