I see the point you’re making but cooking for others is one of my greatest joys —- I don’t consider it “crappy” work. And independence has its downsides. Sterile, impotent loneliness is not a future I look forward to. Everything has trade offs.

Having experienced both extremes of 3 generation familial living and extreme solitude during Covid I agree with you. Cooking and caring for family is often more exhausting than 8 hour work and occasionally you crave alone time, but I think most people find it inherently more meaningful than office work.
