> It means most of the people doing those jobs would not like them.

There are a lot of jobs that need doing if you want to enjoy things like "running water" and "food".

Many of those jobs are unpleasant. That's why you get money for doing them.

And any job worth doing is worth doing well.

If sewage workers -- people who literally have shit jobs -- can do this, then unemployed people given a job cleaning up local parks or canning food can do the same.

I have done manual labor. And worked in fast food. The work sucked, but I took pride in being good at my job.

I could crack eggs onto that griddle like a machine.

(As an aside, I have very little patience with people that are rude to fast-food workers, janitors, and the like. Those people make your life possible. You can be polite to them and treat them with respect.)

> Because being forced to do something you don't like

Who is forcing anybody?

Take a different job. Or start a business. Or don't work.

> Why having as much people as possible being able to do "nothing" isn't the ultimate goal of humanity?

No.

> I mean, it's exactly what wealthy people want for themselves so...

Also no.
