The exception proves the rule.  The fact that he has to mention that his servitude was easily endured implies that typically servitude is something that is hard to endure.
*emphasis mine*

No it doesen't Eliezer was the servant of Abraham, yet at the same time since Abraham had no children he was also Abraham's heir. Also when Abrahams nephew was kidnapped by an army, Abraham and his SERVANTS took up arms to go rescue him, why would all these ARMED servants risk their lives for someone that's mistreating them, and not just free themselves instead? Dodgy

For this to show what you think it shows, two things need to be true. First, that a slave would never do anything that is not in his best interest, which is an unsound premise, and that Abraham's relationship with his slaves was typical for slave masters and slaves, which you don't know to be true. I don't know why Abraham's servants did what they did, and neither do you. But ultimately it doesn't matter as it's not the evidence that you think it is.
