I think the parent's point - and what I more or less agree with - is that the problem is the hardware.
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.
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.
