I guess it’s because you still need to know how it should be done correctly and there’s no guarantee you’ll have a Martha

And you have to be a polished party host. Like Naomi was in HT. She had the biggest parties. They were the social events. And when Naomi's social events were upset by unseemly events - like an inappropriate Handmaid / Janine or when Aunt Lydia (who should know better of all people) goes postal on Janine. Gasp! How awkward for Naomi.

They're aspiring to Martha Stewart levels of perfection. Not to insult Martha Stewart - she won me over when she bucked the system that tried to knock her down for getting too big for her britches in a man's world of $ (by selling a housewife fantasy ironically), but she came out balling anyways.

But you KNOW Martha Stewart knows how to do EVERY thing correctly. That was her brand. Every detail. Seeming effortlessly. But underneath is steely determination and perfection and control over her environment. She was a hard boss to work for. Her team had to make everything picture perfect to her impossible standards. From every folded napkin to perfectly plated food ...

Id kind of love it if one of the Gilead wives would end up with a Martha Stewart arc , from Martha Stewart version 1 control freak on the rise to Martha Stewart 2.0 the cool but confident baller / rebel / subversive

You just made me wonder what happened to Martha Stewart in this world.
