They can represent a new level of technology that transcend previously established rules about electronic warfare & jamming.
They can also be the standard combat unit before someone start jamming everything.
just want to point out that before the war in Ukraine, the idea of military drone controlled with wires looked ridiculous
They can be mook enemies that are dumb, limited, and can be destroyed without killing characters or making human expandable.
They can be used to represent who is in a position of strength and who has his back to the wall. It's like having a visual life-bar.

>What do you hate about them?
Shit anime like 00 or Seed make them magic gimmick, powered by magic, not technology.
Overused as "LOOK! MY MECHA GOT THE COOL POWER UP!!!!".
They typically float under gravity for no fucking reason. It's bad enough when legged-mecha just float around.
No fuck is given over how they are controlled in settings where electronic warfare and jamming is supposed to be critical.
Typically no care is given either over how smart remote weapon are, always moving in cool ways, as if the pilot controlled them with his mind + precognition.
There's always a point where you see no reason they aren't mass-produced to replace almost every other units.

It's difficult to use proper terminology since IRL we don't have any good one either. "Remote weapons" itself mean little without setting a context with pictures.
"Remote" imply they are yours and only yours, controlling any of their actions.
But drones were always meant to have autonomy so as to discharge the pilot of the mental effort of piloting them, ideally you also want to share what they see and control with every allies, also letting them take control if they need it.
At some point they become so smart they are more like "robot", autonomous servants you give orders to without a precise idea of how it will follow them
