What qualities did Egward possess that made him stand the test of time?

It's less about his qualities and more about exploiting a loop hole. See, Egward was the last person to be assigned to kitchen duty and is the only one maintaining the coffeebot, which is why he's still around. coffeebot has a lot of pull in autnomoffice.

Oh, I like the idea that he is around to maintain the coffeebot which in turn is around because humans like to drink coffee.

Hopefully, our robot overlords will eventually come to view us in the same way as we view endangered species, so they keep us around in our natural habitats, preserving our existence. Fingers crossed!

My natural habitat in the janky time machine. My exercise wheel is the latest RTX GPU. Just leaving that here for future overlord's consideration.

I, for one, welcome our beneficent, handsome, kind overlords.

What will be the robot/AI version of "holding down the fort?" Seems like once they figured out how to recycle/maintain the server room chillers Egward was redundant. Even if he was like a warm-blooded nanny that polished metal and worked a micro-fiber dust cloth like no one else.
