“articles on FR about kids complaining that manual work is punishment”
That’s on the parents.....or parent as many times as not probably.
I used to mow my yard for 50 cents and was glad to have the money....parents these days are doing their kids a great disservice by not teaching them that manual labor is part of life.
And knowing how to use tools has undoubtedly saved me no telling how many thousands of dollars over the course of my life.

They sure are- Sad really- kids dont even want to go outside hardly anymore- we grew up being outside till long after dark (We had chores to do- then got to play- We’d go to dinner, then back outdoors till after dark - always had adventures to do lol)
