They never asked for one becase they never imagined being able to afford one.
The amount of administration organizing a normal household takes I suspect most would be glad to leave to someon/something they trust and that can be held accountable.
Today that someone needs to be a person (imo). But who knows, a startup may be plotting accountable digital assistans as we speak.
I would want someone who could physically work in my house, performing the chores/daily tasks I don't want to.
I have zero use for AI. What's it going to do? Read the 3 emails about bills I get?
Certainly someone out there has a use for this functionality, but when you say "household admin tasks" the last thing I think about are /digital/ admin tasks.
I think theres some real use cases in the household department. I would love an AI that I just tell my nutrition goals (I want to eat X calories, Y protein, Z fiber, hit all vitamins) and it just generates a full meal plan for me each day. Like, I go to the store and it made the complete shopping list for me. And automatically updates the rest of the day if I tell it I skipped a meal or ate a snack.
I get where you're coming from but at least for me you appear to be looking to automate away the interesting bits while being left with the tedious ones. What I want is the opposite to what you're asking for - let me dump a rough meal plan into whatever thing is doing this giving an overview of what meals I want to cook this week and then have it go place an order with the supermarket for delivery of the necessary ingredients taking into account what I've got in the house already.
People with eating disorder do not want to think about it, they cant stop thinking about it. They create all kinds of systems for themselves, but mind cant stop - and restrictions grow.

That quote has an unexpressed precondition to the effect of "In order for an organisation to be objectively well run..." or "In order for an organisation to equitably benefit all stakeholders at all levels..." etc
