There's obviously a reason the Light/Darkseid didn't just build a ton of amazos instead of all the work with Kobra Venom, Clones, Starro mindcontrol or the metagene projects, in order to create an army of supersoldiers. Something robots just can't quite meet the criteria for. To me, this is simple, being Organic.

We know (infer) that Darkseid was the little bird that told the Light about the mind control Starro possesses, so it's fair to assume it's them that want the supersoldiers. What's Darkseid's MO? Fear, Despair and Anti-Life. How do you manipulate a robot through fear and despair? Impossible. The Anti-Life equation wouldn't take any kind of effect. If Darkseid were in control of said army, he wouldn't be able to ensure control of them through his standard means, he'd be relying on humans who have a history for pre-programmed commands...
