we don’t have the time to do our chores

You also don't have to cobble your own shoes or darn your only pair of socks.

It isn't a serious perspective to say that medieval peasants had it better than anyone in a first world country today.

Genuinely, I think your examples are negatives

I love the act of creation. I love molding the world around me. I would rather fix my shoes and repair my shirts than have shitty, unrepairable clothes made from plastic that just dissolve after a couple years

I think the connection between you and your personal things is good when it's a long relationship of maintenance and restoration. I think it's horrible when it's short and replaceable

Then you can get that with technology. Because where computer stuff is concerned, we're still cobbling our own pi-holes and smart home setups.

I agree. I think personal mastery over your devices is a wonderful thing. Even when ephemeral - if you transfer a concept from device to device, I think that's beautiful
