Like the old (apocryphal?) saying from Ford that if they asked the customers what they want, they would have requested a faster horse.

You can find similar statements people have found from old "man on the street" TV interviews about mobile phones. You have people saying they can use them to call a friend to ask for directions. Or call to ask if a store is open, or if they have an item in stock. Or to make last minute dinner reservations. Turns out they didn't really need to want to "call" to do these things, that was just the previous tech-generation way to get that info and having a mobile app works much better in (many) cases.

Home robotics is going to enable us to reconsider other patterns, that still serve the same outcome. Some will be worse, some better, but on net things will settle out over time.

Even more radical, why keep the same clothes at all? If you can 3d print exactly what you want on demand, with perfect fit, and recycle it after wear, do you even need laundry? Maybe what you need is instead of a closet is some kind of 3d imager of your body / fabrication room.
