Repairing things by hand is a pain in the ass. It's slow, usually requires a janky suit, leaves you open for surprise robusting, hardly ever ends up as a complete job (or anything other than a cold, dark hallway that needs a crowbar to pass through), and tends to end up more effort than its worth since it's just easier to rob EVA and call the shuttle than it is to spend half a round fixing and repressurizing medbay.
Ghost drones get around that by being robots that zip through bombed out rooms, able to RCD entire wings of the station back together in no time, protected by the same magic that spares bees from retribution. And, they have nothing better to do, since they can't do anything other than be constructive!
Ditto with construction borgs, when they aren't murdering or being murdered by the crew. These are the new atmos tech guys!
