A robot mechanic that climbs around on elevators? Yeah... Not anytime soon.

These are the people who fix the automation when it breaks.

The way that highrise formwork is put together, there would need to be massive expensive changes into the structure of these buildings to accommodate an automated solution.

The elevator shafts are structural in a lot of cases, so opening it up at grade to bring in some automated equipment would mean the shaft needs lateral support.

The installation robot itself would need to fasten it's own rails into the shafts and walk up/down the shaft, installing factory built assemblies in each level, plug them into a common bus, all from a temporary power connection because it hasn't plugged itself in at the top yet...

Human installable takes a much cheaper BOM than machine installable.
