That would be the least of my worries, that a human could control the robot from the other end instead of the robot being autonomous. Right now it's a marketing plot and a way to get robots quicker to be more human-like to be easier accepted. In the future I don't see this happening, and control will happen (to the extent it will) through training and enforced limitations and safeguards, rather than direct interventions, most likely.
Of course, having a house robot in your home to which even a technician could have access remotely to control even as a fail safe, can also introduce elements of risk through the invasion of privacy but then coupled with direct potential actions in your home that can also be opposite to your interests or well-being. But also in your interest. Everyone will likely have to choose whether to trust or not the new tech and to what extent. Given enough time, most people will likely adopt it, if they can afford it.
Right now, we see more evidence of the society (i.e. governments, corporations) turning dystopian than adding utopian elements. Let's see what the future holds for us!
