It's a good classification, yes. The fruit transfer to humans is a distinct category from simple picking, which changes the game for downstream roles. One could say it creates a new class of manual work, more focused on logistics.

That's a key distinction; it should be seen as two different categories. The first is basic manipulation, like holding a ball. The other is contextual manipulation, like picking an apple at the right ripeness or being careful with damage, which is a much more complex class of problem.

It's true that there is a clear difference, but we also need to think about the human cost when replacing people in the field. Even if the robot can pick apples, who will take care of canning or sorting in the end? It only shifts the problem elsewhere, often for less money.

It is true that the delicate dexterity of the Bionic Handling Assistant is an impressive capability and a fantastic starting point for innovation, as it demonstrates fine motor control essential to many robotic applications.
However, claiming that fruit harvesting and handover to humans directly result from it is an oversimplification of the inherent complexity of autonomous systems.
The ability to grasp a red ball does not imply the ability to distinguish a ripe fruit from an unripe one or visual damage, which requires sensors and artificial intelligence much more sophisticated than mere grasping.
For example, for a robot to pick an apple without damaging it, it must first locate it among the foliage, assess its ripeness, then apply the correct torsion force to detach it, which is very different from simple object manipulation.
