You've got it backwards: Capitalists want to take the skill, craft, and intelligence out of a job so people are more replaceable, even if it makes the end product worse.
It's only low skill because everything has been standardized and prepped ahead of time. Even then, there is skill required to effectively and efficiently execute a standardized procedure.
And people that aren't particularly intelligent still deserve a chance to make a living and lead a normal life, and also deserve to be protected - via laws - from being taken advantage by those who are more intelligent, cunning and unethical.
