Why do you think that is? To me, having eggs and toast 'magically' appear in front of me when I get up in the morning sounds wonderful and I am really not sure why everyone wouldn't want that if the infrastructure to provide it was there.
While the actual act of making an egg and some toast is not terribly difficult, everything else that goes along with it, like having to plan the meal ahead of time such that you have the supplies on hand, starts to add up into a big job. A big job that I cannot imagine why someone who doesn't love cooking would want to take on unnecessarily.
I can see how it may be necessary under the status quo as we lack the technology to really deliver on the vision, but our discussion is not about the status quo, but rather a hypothetical future where industry has figured out to produce quality prepared food at scale such that the costs start to approach that of the raw materials.
