I've always wondered if this trend started because, even among those that disliked Prometheus, David seemed to be a popular element. Seems to be a common trend "People like this thing, lets focus on it until we burn it into the ground." Shockingly it only took Ridley one movie to ruin David.

I envision an entire Giger hellscape at David8's disposal, and an evolution of his form as well into something so Other and bizarre, the possibilities are just brimming with biomechanical mercurial ooze and brine mmmm A.I. sex madness baby. 😎
It stopped being "other" when the alien was linked to David, and the engineers were linked to us. There is no other. We're all one big happy family in a small little universe neighborhood where everyone knows everyone.
David's just another mass murdering serial killer with different insides. The only difference between him and Hannibal is the space ship. And Hannibal wouldn't get the quotes wrong.
Androids certainly have their place in the Alien mythos, but there is so much more to explore. We've had two movies now where the Android's story was at the core of things.
