They will become cheaper over time. In the future buying robots like these could be like buying a new car i.e. expensive but still reachable for most and for others they might be able to buy used ones.

But I dont have much faith in modern tech companies to not fumble this really badly. Will probably end up like the IoT stuff nowadays which have potential but are handicapped by cloud BS and enshittification.

But who will need one in the future? If we don’t have houses to clean or many clothes to fold due to being poor neo-feudal serfs.

Won't someone please think of the rising oligarch class? While poors are whining they will need their toys.
