You're assuming they like it.
the reason those are pets for some people is because as humans we make them. As humans we choose them b/c generally speaking they don't hurt us or make our lives terribly inconvenient.

The wild animals could be pets if someone really tried hard enough. You sometimes hear of people with raccoons or squirrels as pets, usually when they have rescued the animal as a baby.
If I were a dog or cat, I'd be delighted to live with a human who would wait on me and spoil me.

Cats and dogs are not wild animals, we humans created them from breeding wild animals. We also domesticated them, we would only breed the ones who showed the traits we wanted. Plus they seem to enjoy the free food and companionship.

The first two are domesticated,and have lived with humans for many generations...very different from the wild animals you mentioned.

Food, shelter, and comfort. All the animals you named can be tamed as pets and have been. Skunks have to be 'de sented'.

Because we wait on them hand and foot! Sounds like a good deal to me!

its a much easier life if you think about it, instead of hunting and defending themsleves against preditors, they have a warm bed with plenty to eat and all they have to do it use a litter, and cuddle with you once in a while
