Washing machines didn't eliminate all demand for labor. It was pretty niche like most applications so far. And yeah, most of the world still doesn't have them, so those positive feedback loops have been there the whole time.

And if your town doesn’t have washing machines, they sure as heck aren’t going to have 100x more expensive robots

Robots are just portable computers with hands. They will not eliminate all demand for labor anytime soon.

while living in a small apartment long ago, I had to give my weekly laundry to someone in the neighborhood who owned many many laundry robots
to their credit, they charged an incredibly fair price, and even folded
Everyone owns washing machines now - people just move on to do other things
