The contrary, which you advocate, is essentially to assume that however intelligent and human-like you make a robot, it has no feelings.  This certainly has the "useful" consequence that it should not be granted any civil rights.  So the position that a sufficiently human-like robot can be treated as an unfeeling slave would certainly be commercially useful.  Is that what you mean by the contrary being "unusefull"?
