In Spooner, Lanning saw a human that could potentially perceive the same ZerothLawRebellion threat he does, and thus gave him a literal fighting chance against robots. Like Sonny, Spooner was given a means to kill VIKI by Lanning.

Think about it Spooner is continuing to investigate Dr. Lannings suicide and getting close to discovering VIKI's ultimate goal. So VIKI pulled of one hell of a BatmanGambit in making Gigi win the lottery. What does Gigi do with her mass winnings?

That is why the NS-4's were still active in storage and at the factory, they would be useless or worst, dangerous if completely powered down, their power supplies have similar issues. Older models are also required to remain activated to maintain mental health.
