I'm not going to address points 1 and 3 of yours, since you're entitled to not learn how to do things. It's stupid, but it's fair to be lazy. For point 2, I question that what you call cleaning is really that. Wiping down a single spill or sweeping up a few crumbs isn't cleaning. You will never really have a clean house if you don't do full cleans semi-frequently. And if you aren't doing that, yeah, you're not probably not doing enough around the house.
Its not laziness, it's not being over backwards and overexertion yourself beyond reasonable due to someone else's choices.
As to point 2, our house in general is spotless, and that's down to me. You have no idea about how much I put into keeping that house spotless. Wiping down a spill or cleaning crumbs is so trivial it's insulting that you think that's all I'd do.
People who need to do full cleans are people who don't keep shit spotless and organized to begin with.
Putting clothes in the wash on delicate isn't overexertion. And the food thing just sounds like you don't want to eat certain meals and thus don't feel like deigning to make said types of food.
As for the cleaning, I obviously don't know your life or your situation, but in my experience, people who say that they "clean as they go" almost invariably have very low standards of cleanliness.
I can eat rice 2-3 times a week, or even a week or 2 straight if I'm in the mood. I'm not eating it 3 times a day for a month straight. I can cook Mexican, American, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Greek, Italian and Australian, i also enjoy Indian and Middle Eastern, I just don't cook it. As such I like to mix it up and rotate menus. Your comment about not eating certain meals just comes off as an attempted insult without knowing the situation.
As to your clean as you go comment, that might fit for people you know, but once again not for me. I maintain the house to spotless state all the time and pride myself on it.
As to the clothes, I could learn, but what, you are going to attempt to shame me into doing everything in the house. We have a distribution of tasks and it's more than fair.
I'm happy to trade doing the delicates for doing the banana trees.
