I don't know Akima, most anime costumes for females tend to be as sexist as any "French Maid Outfit".
sharpreed:
I'm pretty much loving the story arc. Its great seeing Momo being able to express herself in a more assertive manner. To be fair, the violent tendencies have always been present in angry Momo its just now she is able to act on them.

Is it worse to rely on a robot cook than for me to use an electric rice cooker? I mean, what's the point of a personal robot if you can't have it do useful things? How about Momo the robo-personal-trainer too? Just no maid's uniforms...

I don't know about you, but my electric rice cooker doesn't encourage me to go out and socialize, suggest I exercise, or insist that I eat more veggies. Marigold letting Momo cook for her is great, Marigold relying on Momo to tell her what is best to do with her life is a little sad.

I agree with what anabatica says.
I would add to that that even using a rice cooker takes a bit of skill. You may need to prepare some other ingredients (e.g. cook some fish, veg, etc) to make the meal balanced. We're not talking about being "Master Chef" here but enough for day-to-day life. It's a personal opinion but I believe that part of being an adult is being able to cook and being able to look after yourself.
It's one thing to have another person, or even a robot, cook you a meal. It's another thing if you would be lost without that assistance.
Mojo:
I'm not sure I like this direction in the comic. Sure, the sentient tech has been there since the beginning, and we saw the robot body Hannerdad sent, but I can't help feeling making that commonplace is lining up the shark for a good long leap.

Because some companies are misers when it comes to expenses. I used to work for a company that still used a combo Windows NT 4.0/MS-DOS only several years ago in day-to-day operations. They managed to "upgrade" to Windows XP a few years ago.
