Hmmm. I'm trying to think of the best way to describe it.
More computers does mean more processing power for you. That means more robots following basic orders, more research programs you can run, easier hacking, and a larger general zone of awareness.
Now, the real issue is that there's an upper-bound on nuanced control operations you can perform regardless of the amount of general processing power you have. Those are the sort of complicated tasks requiring a human level of awareness or at least exceeding the programming of whatever machine body you are using. Examples of that include tactical combat with specialized weapons, conversation, and subterfuge. At present, you can do three of these things simultaneously in different locations.
The person at the desk, we'll call them, can do two very complicated things that can be done remotely from its location at home base, like hacking a system, rapidly sequencing a genome, or commanding a squad of up to fifty robots to coordinate in a basic function (be it move, attack, manufacture, etc). Subsuming a facility with appreciable untapped resources, like Vault 59's science lab, would effectively give you one more mental action you can perform at once. Similarly, having one less body out in the field means you can do one more complex mental action.
Does that make a bit more sense?
