I see your point, but as another person pointed out, machines take care of lots of things. Washer/dryers and dishwashers are already ubiquitous. I work in IT so I wear t-shirts and jeans directly from the dryer, no ironing or anything else. We also have robot vacuums that can even wipe the floors. We don’t have a lawn yet, but when we do we will get a robotic mower as well. And having a person cleaning up I think would teach the wrong things to our kids.
As for flying somewhere, we usually spend our vacations flying back to our families, so maybe that counts?
I think once you hit 6 figures (in Europe at least) there’s very little extra “happiness” from higher salaries.
The in Europe at least is the important part here. I make six figures in the US but am still terrified of unforseen medical expenses. Insurance is always dicking me over on basics. God forbid I need something real

Robot mowers are pretty crappy. I’d recommend getting a nice zero turn instead, zip right through the lawn in no time and it’s pretty fun.
