Sad thing is that despite the show itself clearly wanting you to side with Aruto in his belief that 'humagears and humans are the same!', it uh.... kinda really doesn't treat them as such? The humagears' well-being are definitely not treated as important as humans. They get destroyed all the time, and there's barely any weight to it not just because it's so frequent, but because the show then just has them brought back perfectly fine later. (And sometimes they don't even bother bringing them back! It's just 'oh they blew up, time to move on'.)

I remember early on, there was maybe an unspoken implication that the humagears brought back are just 'copies' and that the originals had been 'killed' but they kinda drop that eventually and make it clear Izu and her brother are the only exception to that.

Actually, and this is a side-tangent at this point, that kinda adds to what I don't like about what happened with Izu at the end of the finale. I've seen people spin it as this is simply that Izu lost her memories, and obviously the show is going by that interpretation too, but the entire endgame scenario kinda relies on you treating her death as, well, a death. If she was going to come back from that, it needed to feel like a miracle, not 'welp, time to get a new secretary at the workshop'.
