Something only the extremely wealthy could afford, but also something the extremely wealthy never bothered with.
If you think a modern, middle class lifestyle is in any way comparable to the rich in the past 60, 70 years then you have no clue what it means to be rich. It isn't the gadgets they can buy, its the people they buy that completely removes the need to even think about all those things you listed.
The rich don't do self service. This is why the whole discussion makes no sense.
