The purpose is not “some gotcha”. The purpose is that, by calling it unskilled labor you devalue both the role and the person doing it. Then it’s easy to justify not paying them a living wage, not respecting them, and treating them as lesser.

right, so it’s really just arguing over the definition, and thus each side is having a different argument
however you want to call it, sweeping is not a high skill task.
