This is true but kind of tangential. My point was even for the pest control company if it were a 10 minute job, they wouldn't do it that way because the "spectacle of professionalism" that justifies the prices they charge (and perhaps recurring revenue) is lost.
For oil changes it is completely conceivable for a user-serviceable system to be built in, making it not much more difficult than filling air in your tires at the gas station. But the manufacturers have a perverse incentive to not build it.

To some extent our notion of what's "professional" is dictated by past experience of professionals using what works best for professionals. If that changes, an unofficial pest control business has a pretty low barrier for entry considering there are literal DIY solutions at retail.
