RE: Hmmm.... Why now are simple natural language processing robots with some physical animatronics being granted citizenship?

A citizen is affectively that which is owned by the state. As citizens we are the property of our country's rulers. By awarding citizenship to a robot they are marking it as their own. We are no more important to them than what value we can bring to them. A robot probably carries more value for them than most of us!
