Traditionally it is a sign that you were rich enough to not have to work the fields/manual labour/prepare your own food, see also being pale like you did not spend all day in the field under the sun and being fat though the latter two have been inverted since office work and easy sugar became a thing.





If you really have to work such things are in the way. I would not want such things.
The limiting factor nowadays surely is the touchscreen. If the phone doesn't recognize input anymore...
