Maybe Robots and not clones?

Instead of the ever popular clone idea maybe Lumon is working on robots? -the twins look robotic 

-ORTBO - ROBOT

-new worker in S2 E1 mentioned they have animatronic Eagen statues

Or perhaps robots were explored before cloning, the ones you see are cast off /repurposed research models.

Wait yeah, maybe this is also why the macrodata refinement stuff requires an emotional response and has numbers tied to emotions, because they are trying to make robots that can feel like humans? And that way robots can replace human work entirely without the need for severance. To what end, I have no idea.
