Is it cold in here?:
Companion AIs seem to have their chassis paid for by their companion human. I don't remember seeing any explanation of how someone straight out of the creche gets their first body. Maybe they save up from jobs they can do from inside a server rack.
Cornelius:
The question then seems to be why May want simply place in a server rack, with access to the outside world, when she was released, but was put in a chassis in the first place. You'd think that would be the cheaper option.
BenRG:
My guess is that Dale was literally the only friend she'd ever made and she wanted to see him again. It's also possible that, due to the nature of her crime, it was decided that putting her in another non-embodied environment would be putting too much temptation in her way.
cybersmurf:
Maybe Parole conditions/limitations say she needs to be embodied, to be able to 'do good' in the real world.

Agreed, they would seem to be relatively simple and, given the superior tech in the QC universe, within reach of normal consumer electronics prices. But the full size chassis, with a sophisticated sensory system and everything else, would seem to me to be getting on a couple of orders of magnitude more expensive. One might note Beepatrice' screen based features as possibly being a cost saving option.
