Momo has given at least part of the answer herself. She believes that AIs that exhibit violent behaviour provoke "ZOMG!!! KILLER ROBOTZ!!!" fears, however unjustified, and potentially create anti-AI sentiment and prejudice.
More generally, and speaking from personal experience, if one has made a commitment to non-violence (which Momo might have done, though some doubt is cast on this by her willingness to resort to electrocution in situations where violent self-defence was not obviously necessary :-P), one faces the problem of how to respond to people who have made other life-choices. I believe that Rule One is "Don't be a jerk about it". There have been, and still are, a number of people on this forum who have served in their country's military. This is not a choice I would make (assuming there actually was a choice where conscription is in force), but there is not only one decent and honourable path in life, so I'm content simply to accept that their way is not my way. The same applies to fighting in the ring, eating meat, wearing a man-bun, and many other things.

May has the attitude to start working there, and she certainly doesn't drink.

Irreplaced?

I think a lot of what's going on is Dora's trust issues, at this point - especially after Faye screwed her over, she really won't trust anyone to run the business unless she's absolutely forced to.
