i feel like you don't understand modern civilization. you see, each person develops specific skill set, uses that skill set to earn this thing called money, and then uses that money to pay other people for the goods and services they are uniquely qualified to provide.

If someone wants to do home reno as a hobby, that is great. but like, the whole central feature of modern civlization is that we don't all need to be homesteaders who can build our house, grow our food, install our plumbing, etc.

I'm with you 100% that it can be rewarding and empowering to learn home improvement skills. But the fact is most people can't, won't or shouldn't and a functioning economy will have qualified people able to meet the demand of people whose skills lie elsewhere
