That's part of it but OP presented it as a solved problem but the hardware is expensive/unreliable.
That's not the case. I've seen folding robots. They require standardized input, only fold one type of clothing and don't do it reliably.

Human arms and hands are incredibly intricate. Reproducing their facility with hardware requires a large number of actuators and finicky fine parts. This isn't a software problem. Industry solves it with maintenance schedules.
There's probably nothing in your house that has as many moving parts as a robot needs. Your car maybe, and pretty much all it does is rotate wheels.
