In the Future, We Still Have Roombas - what is it about?

I am somewhat confused about In the Future, We Still Have Roombas. If I understand the trope correctly, it's about a future where simple cleaning robots like roombas are still around to perform autonomous cleaning duties. But why would the existence of robots for mundane tasks be a surprise in a future setting as the last sentence of the first paragraph claims? And what would a future look like with the trope averted? Human-like robots doing multiple types of chores instead of a single-task roomba?

From what I understand, the trope is about robots in the future only being used for mundane tasks instead of having autonomy to do what they want like people do.

I'm wondering if there wasn't a little myopia here in the focus on robots. It feels like it's trying to be related to "Extraordinary World, Ordinary Problems."

It's a little confusing... Based on the description, it makes me think of humanoid robots (theoretically capable of do-anything) that only perform a simple menial task. Based on the image, it's small non-humanoid robots who can perform cleaning tasks. The examples go all over. That's pretty much why I don't use the page.

Not sure exactly what this trope is trying to be. The closest thing I can gleam of a summary would be "Robots in the future that do mundane tasks, similar to what is already possible in Real Life" but it just seems a bit chairsy to me because I'd still expect some robots to do mundane things like that whether 10 years from now or 1000 years from now.

Hmm, I guess what's missing is a compelling reason for why future robotic labor should be different from what it's now. Like with We Will Use Manual Labor in the Future you can clearly see where things are going but not so much with this trope.
