** Machines have internal mechanisms, like power sources and servos. The most likely answer is that snapping their "neck" severs the processor from these power sources and possibly severs the artificial muscle fibers (they have those, as per the game's lore) which drive their limbs, so while the robot isn't "dead" and can be repaired, it is likely useless for the next for hours or days. Ergo, from the standpoint of a major war, it may as well be dead as a human who gets his neck broke.
