Here's a question: how much are they doing right now? My guess: not much.
That's because in the US we have BI of about $20k/year [1]. They don't need to work, so they don't.
In India and other locales with minimal/negligable BI, they do domestic labor and other such tasks (at least in urban areas, rural locales are another game entirely).
There is no good reason any software engineer or other high skill individual should do laundry or clean their own house. It's a complete waste of their time. It's merely the perverse incentives created by our BI system (and other labor market rigidities) that cause this to happen.
