To be fair, the study does acknowledge that problem:
>The findings indicate that 2 people in the same relationship may experience and interpret the division of household responsibilities very differently, and these differences matter for relationship quality
Cognitive load is very subjective, and I would guess the biggest problem there us that women tend to be in charge of households - you cannot have the power without the responsibility.

“ women still take on most of the work involved in running a household” is in no way a sensible conclusion to draw from “women report taking 25% more”. What do the men report? I’d be shocked if the general pattern was anything other than “everyone feels like they’re doing more than their fair share.”
