You could make that argument about virtually any service profession. Maria is very likely not subject to the tipped minimum wage. She probably gets paid market rate for cleaning services. And while that isn't extravagant, it's probably not a poverty wage either.
Additionally, if an employee is subject to the tipped minimum wage and fails to make the regular minimum wage over a pay period, the employer must make up the difference. That's why restaurant owners fight tooth and nail for tipping.
The reality is that tipping helps one person: the business owner. You don't have to subsidize their payroll if you don't want to.
