I like cooking, I like gardening. Husband likes washing the cars. Sure I like convenience - live about a mile from work so can easily get there without a car, have a Roomba, hire for biweekly cleaning so we can have weekends. But some sorts of activities you think of as inconveniences may be stuff other people enjoy doing.
Is your planning theoretical at this point? Your responses sound like you haven't actually implemented these plans.
I love to simplify my life, and add automation, but lately all of it is just more and more ads, more and more AI nonsense that doesn't work, and the rest are half baked ideas that also don't work half the time, so honestly, if things automation, I'll keep my old fashioned life where I do more things which work fine and I don't have stupid ads , clueless AI, or half-baked features that don't really solve anything.
They're fucking stupid as hell. Also there's people that just hate change even if it's in their favor. The rest are pretending to be stupid because they are benifited by the status quo
The answer is simple. Propaganda. For probably thousands of years, religions have preached that hard work and sacrifice are virtues. They of course only pay off in the next life.
May Christian cults go so far as to believe that your after life is set in stone before you are even born, yet that being happy is evil and you shouldn't do it even if you are not gonna go to heaven for it.

As a kid in a Catholic family I remember my dad saying God intended man to live "by the sweat of his brow". No idea if it's a bible quote or what, I can just hear him saying it. But I think there's a mentality that life wasn't meant to be fun or easy, and therefore thinking it should be is a wrong thought. Somehow this doesn't make inheriting wealth and living in abject luxury evil or wrong, as long as you still have a work ethic. Or something, I dunno.

Personally, I find "rough living" a helluva lot easier than the "convenient" world we have built. At least shit makes sense when you have to grow/hunt your own food, build your own shelter, etc. I would prefer to have to do all that, than the kinds of things I have to do in order to eat, have clothing and shelter, etc in society.
