The former is very physically taxing, the latter is easy peasy and can be done while shitposting. And even white collar work runs the gamut in between, from meeting time wasters to brain heavy engineering and research.
Some things just need time. For example - my house siding took like 2 weeks, with them running 40 hour+ weeks. Could they do it in 4 weeks running 25 hours? Yes. But that means they make less money, and I have to wait FOREVER.
That 40 hr week is the sweet spot for hourly work. You get just enough money, and do just enough real work that you can have a life outside it, and that life is livable. 25 on hourly? Not sustainable.
