And Penny's military hardware. More than that, she's a soldier, not a Hunter. I'm pretty sure that whoever is in charge views her more as a tool to be used and discarded. Use her for their own ends and when she outlives her usefulness, then she'll be disposed of. It makes sense. Get a powerful robo-mecha-fighter to do your dirty work, then just remove her when you have no further need of her. As a robot, it's a simple case of dismantle and move on, not kill a person and leave. The death of a living being would cause questions, the death of a robot would be explainable. They could just state "critical error, tragic incident, had to be put down" and that'd be the end of it.
