I believe to a large extent because if there's a great demand, then engineers and business people often find ways to create solutions to simple and industrial problems. For example, they make it convenient for people to handle simple errands such as cooking, washing dishes, doing laundry, and cleaning. They often develop machines or tools that help them do these tasks much easier compared to before.
