re: Name something extra you do for your wife that seems to just “not count”.

It'd be easier to name the things that do.
Here's my list of things that do count:

The excuse is “I just don’t have time - so I throw things in there”
She does not seem to think putting stuff right side up (cup full of water) is a problem.
I have given up and fix it in silence.

I’m sure you’ve all got into arguments with your wife at some point about who’s pulling the weight on certain things and how you feel it needs to be more balanced etc.
Honestly, not really. If we have a conversation like this it's because there's some functional reason behind it.
Examples include me wanting her to do the budget for a bit so that if I die suddenly she isn't up shite's creek trying to fend for herself. Conversely, she's gotten on to me about the dishes if there is food still caked on after I've done them.
I don't think we have ever gotten into an argument because one of us feels like we are doing more. If I have an off day and she's working, I do the chores. There are certain things that we both normally do. I cook, she cleans, she walks the dog, I do the finances, she washes clothes, etc. but those aren't set in stone. There have been days where she feels sick/depressed and I do everything. There have been days were she has done everything while I'm out on a really long bike ride.
The chores are the chores and we both understand that neither of us are trying to put extra responsibility on the other. I'd feel like I was in prison if that were the case.

After a couple of contentious, instructive demonstrations, I've decided it is not done by happenstance. She knows.

This is exactly how it is in my home as well. Doesn't matter how much time I spend on yard work/maintenance/home improvement projects while she takes naps and watches reruns of golden girls. But I deal with it because she's way better looking than me and I like having sex with her

Giving life advice that's eventually proven correct over the choice she inevitably makes.

This is such a crazy thing to say about your spouse.
I know you don't get why, but it's mind blowing to me that some people have this attitude toward the person with whom they've chosen to spend the rest of their lives.

I’m pretty sure the variance of weight load carried is proportional to the above mentioned spread.
Ugly wives gonna have to learn to mow.

The problem is that you husbands aren’t speaking you wive’s love language (and vice versa). You are likely doing things for her that you would like her to do for you. Instead, you have to figure out what her love language is and tailor the “extra” things you do for her around that. My wife loves thoughtful gifts. Doesn’t have to be anything expensive, just thoughtful. I, on the other hand, don’t give a crap about getting a gift, so I have to be very intentional about planning and getting her a gift from time to time. My primary love language is Physical Touch (isn’t that most guys?), so It’s easy for me to always be rubbing her back or massaging her shoulders, because that’s what I would want.
In general, the five love languages are:
1. Words of Affirmation
2. Physical Touch
3. Gifts
4. Quality Time
5. Acts of Service
What you will likely find is that God put the two of you together with COMPLETELY different love languages, so it definitely takes effort.

The 2 or 3 hours I spend per week maintaining the yard is equal to the 6 minutes that she spends folding towels.
Mine complains so much about laundry. My God, the machines do all of the cleaming work. Then, you get to fold in the air conditioning while watching TV.

I have cooked breakfast (usually take it to her in the bed) and supper for us and the kids for 22 years. At some point it just became expected. In her defense, she is the busiest person that I have ever seen.

Of all the things around to complain about, bitching that the wife doesn't acknowledge enough about things accomplished isn't near the top of my list.
Maybe just lucky to have a good one, maybe old fashioned, etc.... I work, and she's happy to stay home to cook, clean, tend to our son's needs during the day etc.

So you have to buy your wife shite to make her happy and you chalk it up to “that’s just her love language?” Lmfao
