Or is using the relatively simple reasoning that brains are full of
cruft, overcapacity, and other elements that are not specifically
required for sentience, but devoted to the management of a primate's
body, and we can do a better job.

Emulating a human is very very different from making a sentience. That's
the main flaw of the Turing's test: it attempts to prove the existence
of human-type sentience, not sentience in general.
