Mr_Rose:
I’m pretty sure that AIs wishing to get a body on leaving the crèche join the Companionship programme, if they don’t find any other job that comes with a body appealing.
As for Bubbles, specifically, I think that for security reasons related to enemy actors potentially replacing the on board AI with an infiltrator she probably can’t leave that chassis. She was entered into the warbot programme before the AI rights amendment passed, after all.

"Within reason" is my mantra and feels like it applies as an unspoken qualifier.

"Unspoken qualifier" has a very shaky relationship with the law. That's why contract attorneys exist.

I am fairly certain there are specific hardline exceptions, especially in the case of military hardware, such as the aforementioned attack sub. I imagine in that particular instance, the sub was more akin, legally speaking, to allocated gear than a body, and was stipulated as such in their military contract.

Ahh, you are about to discover a resource!
The QC wiki has been a labor of love by many for years.

I think Jeph ran out of things to do with Raven. I miss her too.
A possible explanation for the change in the way AIs are portrayed and treated in the strip is the long civil rights struggle that Momo mentioned. The AI ERA happened well after the non-consensual body mods.

Whoa, thanks! I can't wait to explore that. :D
