These are not completely different things, but maybe different sides of the same coin.

You enjoy the act of gardening, so you do not automate it away.

You enjoy the clean home, not the act of cleaning, so you may be interested in automating it away.

It seems you enjoy designing or using software, as opposed to programming/building software. So you automate the programming/building away.

Sure, that's fair. I enjoy the process of figuring out ways software can solve some (usually quite trivial) problem for myself, but then I'm very happy to hand the act of making it to a robot.
