My point is from business perspective cooking is much bigger market since this applies to B2B as well (commercial laundry is not as big) - many restaurants would happily buy such robot and pay even more than typical home user. I also think solving cooking is simpler task than folding any types of clothes - they could even simplify further by focusing first on making burgers/pizza/sandwich/kebab only and be profitable much faster.

Pretty much this. You’ll be folding clothes while washing more at the same time.
And it isn’t just the folding that is a challenge. It’s putting it away. I’d gladly take a “put the clothes away” robot before I got a “fold the clothes” robot.

> Much more useful if it can do cooking since that's something you do at least once every day.
Thing is, cooking is something a lot of people find deeply rewarding and humanizing (I don't, but I realize I'm an outlier here). Meanwhile, I challenge you to find anyone who thinks doing laundry is a worthwhile use of their limited time on Earth.
