Notice that one of the developments in this manga has been Nagi getting in contact with the more common things in (Japanese) life, as opposed to the secluded bubble she used to know. She isn't being chased as she used to be. She has lots of friends and even a dream she's after (though in a very half-hearted way). She's still rich, not as much as before, but she can now enjoy far more things and doesn't need to be a shut-in.
Given those developments, it is no longer necessary for Hayate to be 24/7 around her, as she has far more people now that cares and will look out for her, in addition to Nagi learning her own way in the world (though very slowly). So, Hayate should be able to pursue his own goals outside of his responsibilities as a butler.
I don't know how this will develop. For all we know, it reinforces even further Hayate's stance as Nagi's butler, but I'd really like Hata to write Hayate realising he wants more than just being a butler.

I don't think it's a question of whether Hayate can do other things but rather if he wants to. Hayate is more than capable of handling anything that doesn't involve money, but this like story arc shows, it's just isn't in his nature to "relax" in the same sense that Nagi does. Unlike Ruka who does have a side hobby, Hayate's vocation is his vacation.
