Yes, indeed, players did vote for this. Apparently lots of simmers love to watch their sims doing laundry or vacuum cleaning or mowing the lawn or watching paint dry. And since it’s easier to develop that than more challenging and in depth gameplay, EA will deliver. Your tax day example could in fact be pretty interesting by the way, if it would mean having to keep an eye on your budget. Unless the game play wouldn’t involve anything else than the animation of a moaning and groaning sim sitting behind a table filling in forms.
I can actually imagine that: A sim sitting at the pc (because forms are too old school ;) ) cursing and waving their fists and then the player is rewarded with an uncomfortable moodlet.
Evil sims can brag about not paying their taxes whilst good sims can talk about doing their taxes.
Add in a few chairs, a hair style or two for adults, a new top, one full outfit, clutter, a new coffee table, perhaps a new counter or two and you have a stuff pack.
But then some people do want more domestic chores. More power to them I guess.
Might be a good theme for adding laptops, at least.
Housecleaning in Sims 4 has been borked for some time -- used to be you could click on the floor and choose Clean House... when your Sim had the Neat trait and they'd go through and find everything that needed cleaning -- stinky toilets, dirty baths/showers, dirty dishes in weird places, etc. It was a good way to take care of the random "dirty surroundings" moodlet when I couldn't find the actual culprit. Neat Sims could even go on a Cleaning Frenzy. And there's still the Speed Cleaning reward trait. I'd like to see regular cleaning get fixed now that we've got the laundry.
I do like some of the moodlets from the laundry, though so far my Sim only gets the Sad moodlet for wearing damp clothing because her clothes never dry completely. And supposedly

so you don't have to worry about Sims dying of laughter all over the place. :)
