Specialization is great. Economies of scale make certain things possible. Awesome. That doesn't mean you have to consolidate power for each of these things with just one big overlord.
I don't agree with the house maintenance for example. Many many renters have a really hard time to get their landlords big and small to fix things. Or make them nice. And you can't do stuff on your own. Want a mini split AC/heat exchanger? Gotta ask the landlord. A large corporation that doesn't want to do this or even listen to you. They'd have to install this for the entire apartment block if they do. A large expense. Now you gotta get all the 50 neighbors to petition as well to get anything moving. And the corp knows they gotta increase the rent if they do this for you but then you will complain about the rent increase later. The same can apply to individual petty landlords abviously.
As a homeowner I already can make use of the benefits of specialization by calling on someone that specializes in HVAC to help me choose whether a mini split makes sense, which models are out there, install it properly etc. Or I can do parts of this, like the research myself or even the installation if I have the expertise.
