First, this study is about UBI, which isn't about removing the need to work, per se, but about making that need less than how shitty some jobs are. So a job that many find unpleasant would still be attractive to many people for the exact reasons they are right now.
Now, in your utopian references, you talk about jobs with meaning beyond the financial. Why wouldn't providing and maintaining spaces for people to live and work in a safe and healthy environment, such as one with properly maintained plumbing, not be fulfilling in itself, without some fetish to add incentive?
