Yes, this article misses the whole point. Everyone I know enlisted and officer at some point was involved with these types of jobs in their careers. Plenty of People with Masters Degrees working in extremely high levels of the Intel community would also have tasks come down to fix their HQ or help with Painting / Repairing barracks. No one is above any task. There are some that are tasked more full time with these jobs, but a lot of those are jobs with immense downtime between their missions / training. Think infantry where you have bursts and blocks of training but there are also large blocks of open time where these kinds of maintenance are performed. Separate. When I ran my last two businesses, both of which were doing mid 8 figures in revenue, I and the rest of management also were in the trenches doing things like cleaning and maintenance. Sure we had services we hired, but that didn't negate the urgency or imperative of fixing / cleaning then and there. I think whomever wrote this article is someone that has rarely had to do these sorts of normal every day tasks the rest of us need to. Hell i'd argue there are probably a large portion of people in this world of employment that haven't.
