"Takes no skill", "Provides no value", etc. is completely wrong. Anyone who thinks this way knows nothing about the service industry or the people who work in it.
As I was responding to someone else in the text you quoted, I can't be certain your explanation is what that other person meant. I do agree with you, however. People who dismiss the entire profession as unskilled and valueless are clods.
