What would you do with a yard this steep?

Yep. If moving is ever an affordable option again, a "must have" is a reasonably-flat yard. At least manageable that a push mower isn't a big deal or I can actually justify getting a ride-on mow.

My yard now is pretty steep. I've learned how to safely and effectively mow it with my push mower but a ride-on mower would not be safe, but everyone suggests it. I will definitely have to pay someone to mow it if I'm still here and super old (which wasn't the plan when we bought years ago)

Are mowing robots not a thing in the US?

They generally can’t handle that kind of slope

They absolutely can! There are "offroad" mowing robots.

Can you link some? Because i have a hill with this type of crazy slope and the models I found can’t handle >30ish degrees

30° there is not much, but the one i linked.works, and husquarna got one as well. Don't know if you can get them in the US though, and ofc they are quite expensive.
