It's also associated with the freedom to specialize in an industry, and not just in relationship-specific capital. A Starbucks barista is far more comfortable and effective at making coffee than a jack-of-all-trades personal servant would be, and can also avail herself of expensive machinery to that purpose - so "depersonalization" (which is literally unavoidable - a barista cannot possibly know her customers socially the way we expect of a servant!) comes with very real benefits.
