There just aren’t enough people in the market for specialization. If you only find one person for a specific task and need, you both have that specific need satisfied for each other, but both of you need to seek out others for your other needs. If you go to the extreme of depersonalization and say someone specialize in sex only, like sex workers, they can only serve so many customers. Then you have people who specialize in all the other stuff you’ve mentioned, intellectual companionship, long term relationship, child rearing. Maybe you can see how the logistics just breaks down based on our basic human conditions, especially the emotional aspect of each profession.
Relationships aren’t like jobs where you are paid in money for a specific service. Relationships are about spending time together doing whatever you happen to like to do together. Sometimes you want to have sex, sometimes you want to do watch TV, sometimes you want to talk about stuff. Maybe if we are all robots then people won’t feel jealous of others in a polyamorous relationship based on the services they provide. Maybe you can just pay people to do those things for you without having to be in a amorous relationship with them if you have the money to do so.
