A historically braindead take. The super wealthy have never lacked eager servants. Except now they'll need technicians and programmers to troubleshoot their troops instead of blacksmiths and quartermasters.
You're trading room and board and clothing for belts, gears, hydraulics and o-rings. And arguably a human military would still be necessary as a fallback in the event of the proliferation of EMP.
Crossbows and guns made the super wealthy mortal. That's why they hate guns so much. They can hire armies but they can't stop a Luigi.

Secondly, they don't hate guns. They love a passive servant class who won't fight back.
