I think the reason might be that doing anything at all is tradition. 
After all, the WW and muggle world was integrated some five hundred 
years ago, and at that time the common witch or wizard had to do some 
chores themselves, or else they'd be exposed as being witches or 
wizards. So they have just kept on doing some things, even though 
things look very different at present times.

Of course, many normal muggle jobs would be unnecessary in the WW. 
But that doesn't mean there aren't things that need a human touch to 
work. The MoM is of course an excellent example.

By the way: I'm new. And please excuse my crude English as it's not 
my mother tongue.
