Answer: Because of the type of work and the working conditions. Very simple.
Not everyone is lucky to work doing something they love. Not everyone is lucky to work doing something others show appreciation for
When you do meaningless underappreciated work, that barely pays you to survive, that forces you to sacrifice so much time away from doing things you actually enjoy - wouldn’t you hate it?
Your premise is wrong. Most people don’t mind working, as long as it has a clear link to some personal benefit. We exercise to stay fit, I grow food and cook for my family, and honestly don’t mind working at my job.
I read somewhere that 4 hours a day of work is ideal, and agree with that. We work too much, that doesn’t mean we don’t want to work at all
Basically, things have shifted really bad to where, despite working our butts off on what we’re doing (trades included), we can’t afford anything, even IF we save.
Everyone loves working, as long you define work as “expending effort to accomplish a useful task” and not “enriching already-rich people while getting paid less than rent and food costs.”

Work is good, it’s the people that are the problem. Plus the low pay.
By definition, working is anything that somebody doesn’t want to do so much, that they’ll pay someone else to do it.
Oh? All those people that love playing and watching sports that help give sports people (at the top) large salaries don’t fit well. Nor do a lot of people that display other people’s art (that love art). I think you’re grossly simplifying in a very pessimistic way
You’re showing people doing an activity that requires people to hold their arms up over their heads for extended periods of time. That’s uncomfortable by design. Some humans do enjoy working. Especially if they can do so comfortably with people they like and/or with some good music on.
At best it’s no longer fulfilling if it ever used to be At worst it’s exploitative to you and everyone and everything you love
Many if not most humans love working. Just not working on things they don’t care about for people they don’t care about, because by definition they don’t care about them. Working is the word we use for things you have to be paid to work on. Hobbies are the word we use for things you are willing to pay for privilege of being able to work on. If people didn’t need to work to survive, eat food, and have somewhere to live, they would mostly be working on hobbies.
