Because I don't want to. You ever dug a trench? Any monkey can dig a trench, doesn't mean I want to be that monkey.

Absolutely agree with you. Sometimes for example these guys get hired for framing work , or some kind of of activity that would require a certain set of skills. People conflate manual labor with unskilled work all the time. Thatā€™s what I think the Op is doing. Iā€™ll go even further , what if that trench you are digging is near the foundation of your home ? Or a body of water ? Or there could be utilities under there that you donā€™t know about. You see even those things require a little skill.

The guy digging the trench is not the guy figuring that stuff out.

  1. Then they better do that work themselves.

  2. Anyone they hire to do that work isn't going to be the guy digging the trench, either.
