It kind of comes down to wealth and the average American is significantly wealthier than the average Indian (or average a lot of countries). Wealth affords you time for things that you care to pursue rather than things you have to. For an American this translates to a lot of people not spending much time in the kitchen. It could perhaps be perceived as laziness when you deride whatever replacement someone chooses over basic chores they’re no longer responsible for but really this is you conflating leisurely activities as lazy. I personally enjoy cooking but not everyone does and them choosing to pay to not have to do that is their choice.
