If the robot arms are only doing what the surgeon moves them to do, why is robotic surgery better and safer than the surgeon doing it himself

All the answers here are great, there is one I haven’t see mentioned: Remote expertise.
Once a hospital has a robot surgeon (and the appropriate high resilience, low latency network), they can benefit from the expertise of any specialized surgeon on the network (potentially worldwide).
In the one hospital in NYC, one surgery could be performed by a brain specialist in LA, and the next by a lung specialist in Sydney, without having to fly everyone around.
It allows the expertise to be available wherever it is most needed without lengthy delays.
