With the wealth gap increasing ever further, I think we will see technology in lock step with that divide.

I doubt robots will actually end up in every household, but a niche luxury product and utility for businesses makes some sense. Even if you think about it from that perspective, robot makers would still want them to be a universal robot not dozens of unique use case bots.

If a business can pay 30k for a general purpose extra set of hands I think that would be a no brainer, and I think the wealthy would see it similarly.

Sounds like a limited market/growth potential, hard to amortize the huge R&D etc. Could happen but will never justify the current levels of investment required.
