Films are a visual medium. You show that which is important, and you omit that which is important to omit.
Droids are repeatedly shown to experience the full range of human emotion throughout starwars. George certainly considers r2 and c3p0 to be fully fledged human characters with agendas, likes and dislikes, regarding his writing structure. They are respected by the author, not regarded as appliances except by bigoted people.
B1 battle droids are exactly as capable from an intelligence standpoint. They might be limited by hardware but they feel the same emotions.
We cannot say the same about clones. On the contrary, they are repeatedly shown on screen engaging in brutal oppression and purges that highlight their coldness, their detached, inhuman and faceless nature and their efficiency in doing so.
The extended slaughter sequences are part of this characterization. It shows us their nature.
They are never ever humanized, and only ever shown doing efficient, robotic things. A clone is never humiliated, is never scared, is never tricked or doing stupid things. They are never happy nor are they sad or flee due to weakness. They die where they stand. They are not humans.
This has little to do with brain chips and everything to do with the nature of the work. Droids are human, clones are not.
