The disconnect is coming here:

I just don’t see the line where any of that is impossible. It seems inevitable

I agree with you that robots building robots is not impossible. I disagree with you that it's therefore inevitable. I strongly disagree with you that it's therefore inevitable in the immediate future.

I think it's inevitable because capitalism, capitalism loves to treat people like replaceable cogs.

These would be literal replaceable cogs that never rest, don't have rights, don't need to account for safety concerns, and don't have any of the other messy human bits

And even if we managed to suddenly outgrow capitalism, being able to have robots making robots in space would be a huge game changer
