[Star Wars]Why do people own slaves when droids exist?

Watto was shown to own a whole host of pit droids that are designed with the sole purpose of fixing things and yet he kept a ten year old Anakin around just for laughs?

Why does anyone even own slaves? Surely it's more expensive to feed them than maintain a droid that you can pretty much abandon as soon as you don't need it anymore.

Look at the droids available for purchase in A New Hope. The first one Uncle Owen tried to purchase exploded before even reaching home. Say what you will about slaves but if you buy one it's unlikely that it's going to have a massive heart attack a day or two after the slave trader skips town.
