That's because paizo didn't want to make them full constructs for balancing reasons... as far as (scifie literature) definitions go, an android is a (full) robot made to resemble a human. SF androids are actually closer to bio droids, cyborgs or even replicants.

Figured that. I imagine the flavor of the androids in SF/PF being like Robin William's character in Millennium Man when it comes to having organic-like parts but not being organic. Would do replicants but then that would be too organic fer my taste.

True... although, according to the fluff, older SF android models have been mostly biological, which would have made them replicants.

Hm, actually, the Nier Automata androids also come to mind here... they didn't need to eat or sleep either, but they could, and they also did bleed.
