I don't need a robot to lift more than 15lbs in order to do all my maid work

Focussing on load capacity is missing the forest for the trees

The point is that a robot with higher load capacity is necessarily less agile. BD's target market is industrial so their robots are necessarily larger and less agile.

The fact that Unitree's robots appear so acrobatic reflects that they are likely on par with BD in terms of capabilities but have a different target market.
