There’s the WASP hangover about idleness/ the cult of work, but I think it’s even more insidious, and the language is a tell.
I think “convenience” is chosen deliberately as part of the marketing. Convenience is seen as indulgence, luxury, something the rich are entitled to beyond question but which the rest of us haven’t earned (and usurpation of which will, or else should, meet with consequences/ natural punishment.)
